## What is Pediatric SymptomMD?

Questions and concerns about your child’s health can arise day or night - even when you’re at work or your doctor’s office is closed. But dealing with your child’s illnesses, injuries and new behaviors can be easier…

Pediatric SymptomMD is designed to be your “go-to app” for managing your child’s health.  It provides tools for making every day health decisions. 

Our new design supports easier access to the everyday resources you may need:

Does your child have a new symptom, injury or behavior?
•	Symptoms – for help deciding what to do when your child is sick or hurt 
•	Parent Advice – for answers to questions about behaviors, eating and wellness
•	First Aid – for quick reference when time is precious
•	Meds – for help with dosages and maintaining a list of your child’s medications

Where should you take your child for treatment? The following locations and services are just one tap away, if your child does need to be seen for care:
•	Find a Doctor – search the Zocdoc app to find the perfect doctor for your child 
•	Urgent Care– use Google Maps to find nearby Urgent Care locations
•	Emergency – quick connections to Poison Center, 911, and nearby ERs using Google Maps

### 5/5 — Best App

*2020-09-21, version 5.6*

This has been out go to app since our daughter was born in 2017 and has never let us down. We love the home care but also appreciate the indicators of green yellow and red to let us know when we should reach out to her pediatrician. Strongly recommend for all parents.

### 5/5 — Helpful and accurate

*2014-04-18, version 3.25*

This is written by doctors, for parents. It's been especially helpful to figure out how to deal with a number of common and uncommon children's conditions. I repeatedly utilize the dosing tables to help figure out the appropriate dosing for a number of common meds by weight (which is something you can't get from the bottle). I take great comfort that this is written by a number of doctors and gives great practical advice. I recommend this app to all parents that I know.

### 5/5 — PedsRNinNC

*2011-06-21, version 2.5*

After 13 years as a Mother-Baby nurse, and 5 years as a Lactation consultant, I made a change to a peds clinic.  I use this app everyday when triaging my calls from parents!  Very user friendly & fast.  I only wish I had this when my children were younger!  Money well spent!!   If your a medical student or parent you should own it too!!

### 5/5 — Healthy Family

*2010-11-16, version 0*

Well done! This app. is perfect for today's active lifestyle. The triage system is easy to use and very thorough. All parents should have this. It is like having a Doctor in your pocket!

### 5/5 — love it

*2010-07-26, version 0*

love it.

### 2/5 — Free elsewhere

*2010-03-18, version 0*

Identical app is available for free ... See St Louis Children's hospital' s
  pediatric care app

### 5/5 — Excellent app for Mom

*2009-12-13, version 0*

I never write review but felt like I need to make exception for this one. Really love love love this app. It has all info moms need to care for their kids when they are sick. This is a MUST have app.

### 5/5 — Must Have App!

*2009-12-04, version 0*

If you have kids this app is a must. Easy to use application to help parents quickly determine whether to head to the ER, call the doctor during regular business hours or if there is something you can just do at home. The dosage tool is great to have whether at home or on vacation!  Written by a doctor.

### 5/5 — Help for mom's mom

*2009-11-19, version 0*

This app answers all the "What should I do about this?" questions we get from our daughter - who is a new mom. I was emailing her the care advice right from the app, but we bought her an iPod touch for her b-day, so now she can figure it out on her own. ;-)

### 5/5 — Invaluable for parents

*2009-11-18, version 0*

Great information that's always in my pocket. As a parent of two young ones, it is invaluable. Won't replace your pediatrician, but helps you work through the problem and communicate with your Doctor so much more effectively. Highly, highly recommended for all parents as the ultimate reference for all things medical, backed by a trusted pediatrician and years of research and knowledge.  (no, I don't know him personally - I'm just very satified). Worth every penny!
