    Common Concerns and Diseases in Children


    At some point in life, your child will become sick or injured. Many health problems or injuries can be quickly dealt with at home, if as a parent you take the time to prepare and learn what to do.

    In this section, you'll find information on the most common diseases, injuries and problems that physicians at PAMF treat. Some can be treated at home, while others will require the attention of your child's primary care physician.

    If you are ever concerned that a problem is life-threatening to your child, call 911 immediately.
