COURSE 02
Childhood Illness
for the first years
Fever, cough, rash, vomiting. When to watch, when to worry, and when to call the doctor.
Google is not your doctor. Forums are not your pediatrician. But at 2am, with a feverish child, they're often what you have.
This course is what you should have instead. Real medical guidance for the illnesses parents actually face, taught by a doctor — so you know what's serious, what's normal, and what to do next.
WHAT YOU'LL KNOW AFTER
How to tell the difference between a viral and bacterial infection — and why it matters.
How to recognize the early warning signs of sepsis in a young child.
What to do when your child is vomiting, and when dehydration becomes dangerous.
How to read stool, rash, and breathing — the signs doctors look for.
How to give medicine correctly, including the dosing mistakes most parents make.
When to stay home, when to call the doctor, and when to go to the ER.

TAUGHT BY
Dr. Svenja Schulz-Abdulmajid
Medical Lead
Family & Emergency Medicine
German-trained at the universities of Cologne and Heidelberg, Dr. Schulz-Abdulmajid practices family and emergency medicine in the UAE. Each course is reviewed by board-certified pediatric specialists.
You're looking at one of three.
Most parents who buy Childhood Illness also want First Aid — because knowing when illness becomes an emergency is half the value. The library gives you both, plus Sleep, for less than the cost of two.
QUESTIONS
Course questions.
Most pediatrician visits are 10–15 minutes, and half the time the real question is "is this normal or should I be worried?" This course gives you the clinical context you need to know when to go, when to wait, and how to describe what you're seeing. It doesn't replace your pediatrician — it makes your appointments and your calls more effective.
The course is designed for the first five years, with most of the content focused on infants and young children (0–3 years) where parents face the steepest learning curve. Warning signs, dosing, and fever management are covered specifically for different age ranges.
Most parents watch it when their child is well — that's the point. The course is designed to be watched before you need it, so when something happens, you're not learning in a panic. Recognizing early warning signs is most valuable before illness starts.
This course focuses on common acute illnesses — fever, infections, vomiting, coughs, rashes — and when they become emergencies. Chronic conditions (asthma, allergies, eczema long-term) are touched on but require ongoing pediatric care; this course helps you work with that care, not replace it.
Every lesson is grounded in current pediatric medicine and reviewed by board-certified pediatric specialists. Where evidence is mixed (as it often is in medicine), we say so and explain the considerations — we don't pretend there's one right answer when there isn't.
