Several cues: The kid who is not knocked out, disoriented or confused @ the time of the injury is probably fine. Confusion or repeated episodes of vomiting in the hours after trauma deserve a look over by the dr.Kids under 8 can be allowed to nap on their regular schedule, with you checking in on occasion.Cold compresses can reduce the swelling, if the kid will let you.

My daughter Leruri is battling to breath. I suspect nasal congestion. We administered allergex, calpol and salex but she isnt getting better. She doesnt have fever, she isnt coughing but seems to have difficulty swallowing. It seems her lips are getting bruised but were not sure. I just suspect that were paranoid. She sleeps just a bit and wakes up crying. ?
