@beachgem10: Emergency room visits can be anxiety provoking but we want to help make the visit as comfortable as possible and provide the best care we can. We want to partner with you to help your kiddo #er #emergency #parents #pediatrics #kids Disclaimer: For educational and entertainment purposes only and should not be regarded as medical advice or replace the advice of your physician
Please give them paracetamol or ibuprofen beforehand. It’s ok, the ER will still believe your child’s symptoms and you don’t need to “prove” they’re in pain when you arrive in the ER.

My daughter has medical anxiety, the one thing I tell her every appointment or visit is: “I promise to make sure the doctors listen to you and explain why they need to do what they are doing.”

It is SO BEYOND important to be honest with ANY age child. If they can’t trust US, who can they trust?

Snacks, drinks, chargers, games, books, a favorite toy, a change of clothes, and their stuffy - that’s what we take. Lots of that for adult ER visits too

I remember my sister was about 8, getting her tonsils out, she asked our mom if it would hurt. My mom said yes, it will, but it will feel better after about a week. When I had my brain surgery, she said life will suck for a few months, but this has to happen. Honest, but reassuring.

my kids know that if they have a shot for any reason, we immediately get ice cream after. we hype it up and if that means we see eating ice cream at 10 am... we are eating ice cream.

I cannot believe that parents actually need to be TOLD most of these things. It's common sense!!

Some of our locations no longer allow blankets from home. Too many folks with untreated bed bugs.

Using medical procedures as a threat to behave is wild. I will use going to the ER as a consequence when my child is doing something dangerous, but that’s not a lie. This is all really good advice. Thank you!
