Everyone has heard stories of first-time parents who rush to the emergency room every time their child coughs. Nobody wants to be that parent. But nobody wants to be the one who ignores scary warning signs. Keeping children healthy and safe is a top priority, one made more difficult by the curious and fearless nature of kids.
