Mayo Clinic Minute: 3 signs your sick child may need to see a healthcare professional

By ACA | December 12, 2023

While most common colds, flu or other illnesses can be treated at home, Dr. Angela Mattke says parents should watch for these three signs that their sick child may need to see a healthcare professional.

One: Dehydration.

Two. How is their breathing?

And three. How are they acting?

Dr. Mattke says if your sick child is hydrated, breathing fine and acting normal, but you still have questions, never hesitate to call or message your care team.
