HEALTH eCHECK on Windows Pc

“Should I call the doctor if I’ve had a sore throat for three days?” "What should I do when my child has abdominal pain?" These are questions that all of us have. Health problems, our own and those of people we love, happen any time.– evenings, weekends, when you’re traveling or when your doctor’s office is closed.

HEALTH eCHECK is designed especially for these challenges and concerns.

The Symptom Care Guides help you make smart decisions on what level of care (if any) is needed and how to provide symptom relief for minor illnesses and injuries you can manage on your own.

HEALTH eCHECK is derived from the clinical protocols use by physicians and nurses in 10,000 practices and 400 nurse advice lines in the US and Canada. They have been tested for 15 years on more than 150 million symptom calls.

The 145 Parent Advice Messages deal with the most common behavior and wellness questions parents ask their physicians. Each topic provides a description of the issue, three to five specific recommendations to address the concern, and (often) additional resources which may be useful to your situation.
