Note the child’s symptoms, when they started, medicines already given, allergies and any changes in feeding, breathing, activity or urination.
The child will be registered and assessed through the appropriate clinical pathway. Children requiring inpatient care are admitted to the Paediatric Ward based on clinical need.
The team may provide treatment, medicines, monitoring, diagnostic tests, specialist consultation, observation or admission. Families are kept involved in care and discharge planning.
Seek emergency care for difficulty breathing, seizures, blue lips, severe dehydration, unusual drowsiness, collapse or another serious or rapidly worsening condition.
