Children are probably much more resilient to illness
than we imagine. However, occasionally they can become seriously ill,
and it is important to recognise this. By the time parents are
looking after their second or third child they are usually much
better at assessing what is wrong and when they need to visit the doctor!
There will still sometimes be some doubt in the
parents' mind about how poorly their child is, and a visit to the
doctor to check this out is worthwhile even if it turns out that
there is nothing seriously wrong.
