Advice on advice please!

[WishItWasSunday]

Hello lovely people, I'm a nurse in the paediatric A&E dept of my local hospital, and along with some colleagues, have been "volunteered" to make some short video clips on common A&E presentations and advice for parents. I have some ideas but wondered if anyone would like to contribute some things they'd like to know/ advice they have that they wish they'd known when their kids were babies? I'm also looking for any ideas or areas of concern around teenagers. Any suggestions appreciated! :) Thank you for reading.

Ear infections- yellow puss oozing out, I thought my babŷ was having a haemorrhage of some sort after a few days of high temp and grizzling, then this yellow, sticky with some clear liquid began to slowly come out of both ears. I rang 101 to find out it was an ear infection ( which you hear of loads) but I had absoloutely no idea the bursting and leaking puss would happen. My heart was pounding and it turned out to be something so common and trivial in the scheme of what can go wrong, so how did I have no clue?

PS bless you for all you do and great idea to do this

Croup. I was terrified when my dd first had it- it's the sort of thing you think only Victorian babies got!

I second croup, it is very scary the first time it happens.

Febrile seizures and how to deal with high temps

Anoxic reflex seizures (sp?), my son has had 4 of these in 4 years and it wasn't until the 2nd one that we were given a name for it. I had absolutely never heard of them before and phoned an ambulance the first two times when his eyes rolled into his head and he lost consciousness! Apparently they are relatively common.
