What to do If your Child is ill!

Super Bodies – what to do when your child has a common illness

As children return to schools and nurseries after the autumn half term, NHS Cheshire and Merseyside is sharing guidance for parents and carers on common winter illnesses that often start circulating at this time of year, and asking them to think twice before treating these conditions with antibiotics, which rarely speed up recovery.

Instead, the ‘Super Bodies’ campaign shares a guide for parents and carers on the simple things they can do to treat these common ailments at home, as well as helping them to spot the signs of a more serious illness, and knowing when and where to go for medical help.
