children is necessary to achieve the goal. This site is primarily designed to
address different health issues and also to give special emphasis in keeping kids

would like to use simple language avoiding too much of medical jargon. However
the are situations we have no option other than using medical terms to convey
the right meaning and information. This site is reviewed by a board certified
pediatrician practicing in United States. The pediatrician has been practicing for
many years loves to work with the kids and parents. The driving force to start this
site is his keen interest in patient and parent education.

not made yet. - Pediatrician driven site. Material reviewed by board certified practicing full

questions a parent may have. It is 2 AM my child has some congestion and mild
fever what can I do? My 12 year old cannot swallow pills, how do I encourage her
to take the pills? Often a parent is in a situation like these and would like
answers. This might be the place to get those answers.
We are providing the information to educate the parents so that they can
make wiser decisions for their child. One of the intentions of the site is to educate
parents and caregivers in differentiating normal from abnormal and also to know
when to seek health care. Our intention is to facilitate your relationship with your
doctor leading to better care and better results. We would like your doctor visits
be more worthwhile. When you are not clear about something it is would be better
to discuss with your doctor or see your physician. Also sometimes knowing more
about a particular condition can worry some of the parents. This could potentially
lead to excessive health care. Hence we recommend taking prudent decisions in
seeking health care.
