Often this information can help emergency workers finda cause for problems like breathing difficulties.

Keep a list of any medicine, including whatyour child is now taking. Some medicines can cause an adverse reaction whenthey are taken together, so the doctors need this information before they giveyour child anything. You’ll need to know when the child took the medicine lastand how much was taken.

It is also important to tell emergencyworkers about any health problem or illness your child has haD．These pre-existing conditionscan have a huge effect on the type of tests and treatment in an emergency.

Consider having any child who has a healthproblem wear a tag around his neck. This kind of rapid notice can help doctorswho are providing emergency care, especially if your child suddenly becomes illat day care, school, or a friend’s house.
