Tests your doctor may suggest

Many childhood illnesses are assessed by examination alone. When needed, a doctor may suggest tests such as a blood count, inflammation markers or urine tests.

What to expect at your first visit

Bring your child's vaccination card, any previous prescriptions and reports, and a note of the symptoms, when they began and any medicines given. Please confirm available services, timings and fees with the hospital before you visit.

When to seek urgent care

Seek urgent medical care for difficulty breathing, a fever in a very young baby, a seizure, extreme drowsiness, a stiff neck, signs of dehydration such as no urine for many hours, or any time you feel your child is seriously unwell.
