We will give you written information about caring for your child while they are unwell and if they are unwell in the future.

Once our service has seen your child, a nurse can visit you at home to support you through this illness, if needed.

Your child has been seen by a triage nurse in A&E and is not seriously unwell at this time. However, if they get more poorly and you notice any of these signs before your appointment with us, please tell a healthcare professional where possible and return to A&E immediately.
