A new guide has been developed by the Cardiff and Vale Public Health Team to help parents and carers feel more confident when their child is unwell.

‘A Family Guide to Keeping Your Child Healthy and Common Childhood Illnesses’ is a free booklet that offers clear, straightforward advice on everything from coughs, colds, fevers and rashes to safe, sleeping, challenging behaviour and mental health.

It helps parents and carers understand what might be wrong, what they can do at home and when to get further help - whether that’s from a community pharmacy, GP, NHS 111 Wales or the Emergency Unit.

You can access it by clicking on the links below.

It is available in several languages – English, Welsh, Farsi, Arabic and Tigrinya.
