Importance of regular health checkups
Knowing when to seek immediate medical care for your child can be lifesaving. Pediatric emergencies require quick attention, and at Kurapati Children Hospital, we provide 24/7 emergency care to address any urgent health concerns. Here’s a guide on the signs that indicate you should bring your child to the hospital without delay.
If your child is struggling to breathe or has rapid, shallow breaths, it’s critical to seek emergency care. This could be a sign of a serious respiratory issue.
A high fever in infants or toddlers, especially when it doesn’t respond to medication, may signal an infection that requires immediate attention.
Symptoms such as swelling, hives, and difficulty breathing could indicate a life-threatening allergic reaction. Immediate treatment is crucial.
If your child has a seizure, especially for the first time, it’s important to bring them to the hospital immediately to rule out serious conditions.
Severe vomiting or diarrhea can lead to dehydration, which can be dangerous in young children. If your child cannot keep fluids down, seek medical attention.
