Stay home, stay well this winter<\/p>\n
Children often get poorly, as their immune systems are still developing\u00a0and they frequently come into contact with new germs. This is even more so during winter,\u00a0as\u00a0seasonal illnesses like flu and colds increase. The good news is that\u00a0these can often be treated at home.<\/p>\n
The University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust has created the\u00a0Stay Home, Stay Well\u00a0guide\u00a0to support parents and carers of children aged 0 to 9 years. The guide\u00a0gives you\u00a0simple tips so you can be confident in giving home-based care to your child when treating some\u00a0common health worries.<\/p>\n
These include:<\/p>\n
\tfever
\n \thead injury
\n \tdiarrhoea and vomiting
\n \tbreathing issues<\/p>\n
This\u00a0could save you from hours in a busy hospital waiting room or GP surgery.\u00a0The guide also sets out when you should seek medical advice from an NHS service, so your child gets the right care, in the right place, at the right time.<\/p>\n
Save\u00a0this guide to the home\u00a0screen of your\u00a0smartphone,\u00a0tablet, or\u00a0PC\u00a0and keep the advice in a handy place for when you next need it.<\/p>\n
