Riassunto

Your Child Abroad: A Travel Health Guide is a down-to-earth guide for anyone traveling overseas with children, whether on a two-week family vacation or a long-stay posting in the developing world. The approach is both reassuring and practical, showing how to deal with situations ranging from the relatively minor to the life-threatening. A checklist of symptoms for common complaints and a range of useful contacts and further sources of information will prove invaluable for parents who are far from on-the-ground medical attention. This new edition provides a thorough update on the latest medical advice, including data on anti-malarial drugs, insect repellents, and immunizations.

This guide features:
>Accidents, first-aid advice, and what to include in a medical kit
>Region-by-region analysis of potential health risks and basic medical questions in five languages
>Natural and environmental hazards, including parasites
>Traveling with children and medical treatment abroad
