Children’s first aid covers the situations every parent eventually faces: a fall down the stairs, a burn on the stove, a fever rising at night, an allergic reaction. Three hours to know what to do, what not to do, and when to call the doctor or 112. The natural companion to Paediatric First Aid, which covers life-threatening emergencies.
