Book Reviews of The American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Your Child's Symptoms: The Official, Complete Home Reference, Birth Through Adolescence (Guide to Your Child's Symptoms)
Book Review: OK but not great reference
Summary: 2 Stars
Perhaps I expected too much but I felt that this book barely covered most symptoms. There was very little discussion regarding different illnesses. Sometimes my child's symptoms met more than one criteria and then I was too often left wondering. I think that at times this book was actually more confusing than helpful.
Summary of The American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Your Child's Symptoms: The Official, Complete Home Reference, Birth Through Adolescence (Guide to Your Child's Symptoms)
It would be nice to have pediatricians at your beck and call for every cough and wheeze, but the era of house visits is past. When the weather's raw and your child's in pain, start with your reference shelf. Donald Schiff and Steven Shelov have arranged the contents of the Guide to Your Child's Symptoms by the child's age: you'll find symptom guides from baby's colic, diarrhea, and spitting up to your adolescent's anxiety, depression, and skin problems. For each symptom, there's a description of usual causes, a chart of questions to consider, and what action to take. There's also an illustrated "First-Aid Manual." Guide to Your Child's Symptoms is a first-rate resource that explains when bed rest will do and when to get on the phone to your pediatrician.The most complete, authoritative, and up-to-date guide to
children's symptoms available--from the most respected authority on child and adolescent heath care in America
"Keep it close at hand."
--Sesame Street Parents magazine
When an infant or small child is ill, it is often very difficult for a parent to understand the nature of the problem. The American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Your Child's Symptoms enables a parent to identify a symptom quickly, learn its possible cause, and determine how best to proceed. More than one hundred symptoms are listed alphabetically, and the text and illustrations that accompany each one are arranged in easy-to-follow charts. The Guide also includes:
????????? Advice and guidelines on evaluating the seriousness of the symptom
????????and what action a parent should take, complete with a specific
????????section on when to consult a pediatrician
????????? Comprehensive entries covering all children from birth
????????through adolescence
????????? Scores of sidebars on important topics such as recognizing language
????????milestones, correcting eye problems, and stopping a nosebleed
????????? An illustrated guide to basic first aid
????????? Guidelines for safety and accident prevention
Widely praised for its unprecedented user-friendly style and format, the hardcover edition of the Guide to Your Child's Symptoms was a number one Library Journal reference bestseller and a selection of the Literary Guild. The book also won the 1998 American Medical Writers Association Medical Book Award for Lay Readers, as well as a 1998 National Health Information Award.
