Children suffer from specific “children’s” diseases
The smaller the child, the more complications
Infants up to one year are not able to describe their disturbing symptoms

After the fall, the child began to vomit, there are signs of impaired consciousness, dizziness
After the introduction of a new complementary food or medication, the child developed a rash, local edema, pallor, sharp weakness, and agitation
The temperature does not decrease after taking antipyretics or persists for a long time
There is a sharp deterioration in the condition against the background of the disease: drowsiness, apathy, lethargy, refusal to eat
A rash appeared
The breathing has changed-it has become difficult, hoarse, frequent, shallow, the child coughs

. Emergency medical care is provided by pediatric resuscitation and neonatal teams. A neonatologist visits newborns (up to 28 days from birth). The ambulance is equipped with a cuvez – a special cradle that allows you to maintain a constant temperature and perform emergency manipulations (infusions, ventilators, etc.).
