Is it a medical emergency?

1/26/2019

 
As parents, we want to protect our children from harm. Sometimes, that means overreacting to non-emergencies. We've all done it. The "better safe than sorry" mentality can drive a parent crazy.
Knowing what to look for and how to determine if something is an emergency is critical to help you decide what action to take. Please use this post as a reference.

Here are some life-threatening emergencies that warrant immediate action:
  • Choking
  • Difficulty breathing that has not responded to a nebulizer treatment
  • Unresponsive
  • Significant bleeding that won’t stop
  • Blue color
  • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)​
What do you do in an emergency? Call 911
