Believe in the mother instinct

Mother's instincts are often correct if they feel that their children are in danger when they are sick, British experts said.

The general experience of pediatricians is to treat the fears and worries of parents of patients because they know their patients have no problems.

In fact, maternal instincts are seldom wrong and should be included in the list of signs of recognition that every doctor needs to know when examining a sick child.

'For a doctor, it is important to pay attention to parents who are particularly worried about their child's health status,' said researcher Dr. Matthew Thompson, Department of Health Care. individual, University of Oxford (UK) said.

'We should believe in instinct for parents. On top of that, they took care of their children in many previous illness situations and could tell the doctor the difference of the illness. '

Doctors should believe in the gut feeling when trying to judge whether a child has a serious infection or just a common cough or cold.

They should also regularly measure their body temperature, which is one of the basic stages that are often overlooked.

The study was published in the medical journal Lancet.
