Pediatric Illnesses and Injuries
Despite your best efforts at prevention, kids still get sick and injured. It can be scary as a parent living in a place that has a lot of strange diseases. Google makes it worse because the health articles are not written for your limited resource setting. The purpose of this section is to help you know what you can do from home and when to go to the clinic if your child gets sick or injured. If you are moving to a new home in a limited resource setting, I encourage you to do some research. Find a clinic that you trust, where you can take your child if he or she gets sick or injured.

Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
I love that Vaseline and hydrocortisone can prevent and care for most eczema flares and are readily available to the moms in the villages of Africa as well as the moms in suburbia USA. There’s something unifying about that!
