Is There A Doctor In The House?

Parents now have help dealing with two of life's most difficult decisions: what to do with a sick child and when to call a doctor.

When a child is ill, parents can turn to the Children's Medical Guide (DK Publishing, Inc., $29.95). The guide, endorsed by internationally renowned Columbia University Department of Pediatrics, is said to be the next best thing to having a doctor in the house, since it takes readers step-by-step through question and answer symptom charts.

By pinpointing key symptoms, the guide suggests the most likely cause of pediatric health problems and recommends the best course of action to take.

More than 40 easy-to-follow symptom charts enable parents to identify problems and make informed decisions. Some descriptions of symptoms (such as rashes or skin conditions) are accompanied by full-color photographs.

It's written by Dr. Steve Z. Miller, director of Pediatric Emergency at Columbia University, and Dr. Bernard Valman, a practicing physician and author of several books, including The First Year of Life and Keeping Babies and Children Healthy.
