Choosing Child Care - When to Call a Doctor

Talk with your doctor about whether your child needs evaluation or treatment when:

  • Exposed to someone with a serious contagious illness, such as meningitis.
  • A chronic health condition, such as allergies, develops.
  • An injury is treated with first aid, but you are not sure it is enough.
  • Behavior problems develop that you or your child care provider is not able to effectively manage.
