NHS Essex Child Health
The NHS Essex Child Health app offers handy advice on some of the most common childhood illnesses, as well as helping you to understand when it’s better to chat to your school nurse, visit a local community pharmacist or GP, or to call NHS 111. It has been designed to support parents, grandparents and carers finding NHS advice at their fingertips to help look after their children’s health and recognise when they are unwell. Many illnesses can now be treated at home with lots of rest and over-the-counter medicines.
Health conditions covered within the app include:
- Coughs, colds and flu
- Diarrhoea and vomiting
- Chicken pox and measles
- Ear ache and tonsillitis
- Wheezing and breathing difficulties including bronchiolitis and asthma
- Headlice and threadworms
- Bumps, bruises and accidents
Information on mental health and wellbeing, healthy lifestyles and advice on some more serious conditions like meningitis and sepsis are also covered. And there’s a handy section on when you might want to consider keeping your child home from school.
The app is free to download for both Android and Apple. Just search for “NHS Essex Child Health”.
