Kids & Illness: What Every Parent Needs to Know

What do you do when your child has a fever? How can you tell the difference between a virus and a bacterial infection?

When do you need to call the pediatrician and when is it time to head to the ER?

In this episode of The Krista Escamilla Show, I sit down with Dr. Coby Robbins of Next Pediatrics to answer some of the biggest questions parents have when their kids get sick.

We talk about:

What parents should know about fevers

How to tell the difference between a viral and bacterial infection

When antibiotics are actually needed

Vaccines: what parents need to know

Common childhood illnesses and what to watch for

Warning signs that mean your child needs medical attention

What parents can do at home when their child is sick

The questions parents are often afraid to ask

Whether you’re a new parent, raising teenagers, or somewhere in between, this is an episode you’ll want to save, share and come back to when your child isn’t feeling well.

Thank you Dr. Robbins for sharing your story and important information.
