The Doctors Book of Home Remedies for Children: From Allergies and Animal Bites to Toothaches and TV Addiction, Hundreds of Doctor-Proven Techniques and Tips to Care for Your Child

by Denise Foley, Prevention Magazine, Susan K. Perry

The essential home medical reference guide for children from infancy through age twelve,  The Doctors Book of Home Remedies for Children  is a book no parent will want to be without. It contains safe and easy home remedies for the bumps, bruises, aches, pains, scratches, and sniffles that come with childhood.

The editors of  Prevention  Magazine Health Books asked more than 250 doctors, nurses, and health-care professionals for healing tips and techniques that parents could use at home. The result is this practical, easy-to-use medical reference for hundreds of childhood ailments.

Inside you'll learn what medical experts do to stop bee stings from hurting, keep poison ivy from itching—and even stop siblings from fighting. "Medical Alerts" tell parents when to call a doctor, a "Prevention" section provides pointers for keeping kids accident-free, and under "First Aid" you'll find essential emergency procedures. Now every parent can get doctor-recommended remedies, for everything from allergies and animal bites to toothaches and TV addiction.

Some of the advice is outdated, but in general a good resource. In particular, the first aid section at the end is useful.
