Publisher's Note
Fears for children's safety while traveling can sadly put many people off the idea altogether. This book, written by doctors with extensive first-hand experience, is an ideal practical companion for anyone thinking of traveling with a child, whether on a two-week holiday to the Mediterranean or on an extended stay in the developing world. Your Child's Health Abroad will help parents recognize symptoms and cope with fevers and rashes, pains, infections, stomach upsets and accidents. It will tell you when and how to get medical help. A glossary of medical terms is provided, as are translations of basic medical questions into Spanish, French, Japanese, Thai, and Indonesian. From preventative planning to the specific problems of different age groups, from new born babies to teenagers, this is the only guide to deal with children's health in all world regions.
