Finding out that your child has a sudden (acute) illness can be very hard. Getting sick can be scary. It also can be very expensive and can disrupt your child's life.
The most important thing is to deal with the illness and get healthy again. If school or other activities have to be put on hold while your child gets treatment, that is okay.
Some acute illnesses can become chronic, which means that they last for a long time. Although this may not happen with your child's illness, it is best to be prepared for this and to know how to handle it. Talk to your doctor to find out as much as you can about the illness and how best to treat it.
Here are some tips on how to keep your life on track while your child gets better.
