Parents of children who are experiencing pain after day-surgery now have access to a new resource to help them manage this pain at home.
Children’s charity WellChild has launched an interactive website called My Child is in Pain to help parents understand pain and how it affects children.
Using videos, text and illustrations, the resource guides parents through the process of determining if their child is in pain. It provides detailed information and practical advice on some of the simple but effective things parents can do to provide comfort and manage their child’s pain. It also explains how common pain medications work and what parents should know about giving medication to children.
The resource can be found at:
