This episode is the third in our three-part Summer Pediatrician Series with Dr. Stephanie Grice. In this episode, Allison and Dr. Grice are discussing how to evaluate when your sick or injured child needs to be seen by a doctor.

Dr. Grice shares what symptoms warrant a visit to the doctor, how to decipher whether your child has a virus, what injuries should be seen by a doctor right away, the role of the triage professional and how to advocate for your child.

They also discuss fevers – their role in fighting illness, when to treat with medication at home, and the risk of dehydration from fever. They even touch on the science of febrile seizures and how your family can cope with them.
