Choosing Child Care
When to Call a Doctor
Talk with your doctor about whether your child needs evaluation or treatment when:
- Exposed to someone with a serious contagious illness, such as meningitis.
- A chronic health condition, such as allergies, develops.
- An injury is treated with first aid, but you are not sure it is enough.
- Behavior problems develop that you or your child care provider is not able to effectively manage.
