How can I calm my sick child?

My child is sick and really upset. How can I help calm them down?

I'm sorry to hear that. Here are a few things you can try: create a cozy environment, read their favorite book, or play soft music.

What if they don't want to do any of those things?

If they're not interested, you could try gentle distractions like watching a favorite movie or offering a warm drink.

Should I give them any medicine?

If they have a fever or pain, consult your pediatrician for appropriate medication. Comfort is key!

Thanks! What about their anxiety?

For anxiety, reassure them with your presence, talk to them about their feelings, and encourage deep breathing.
