@Alberta Health Services’ HEAL (Health Education and Learning)

As children’s hospital emergency departments fill up across the province, it’s important to remember not all illnesses and injuries require a visit to the ER.

 

@Alberta Health Services’ HEAL (Health Education and Learning) website provides families with fast information about common minor illness and injuries in children: http://albertahealthservices.ca/heal

 

Advice comes directly from the Pediatric Emergency Medicine experts at the Alberta Children’s Hospital in #yyc and Stollery Children’s Hospital in #yeg.

 

HEAL offers symptom trackers and treatment suggestions for illnesses and injuries such as:

– barky cough (croup)

– coughing and wheezing

– influenza

– common cold

– ear pain

– vomiting and diarrhea

– and more
