Q. What should I do for my kid when he’s got a sunburn?
Dr. Zibners' Answer:
Thanks to Sara from IA for this timely gem. If your kid does get burned, don’t beat yourself up too much. Stick her in a cool room, give her something nice and chilled to drink. Cover the painful spots with a cool wet washcloth if it makes her feel better. An age and weight-appropriate dose of ibuprofen will also help with both pain and inflammation. And if the baby is under 1 year of age, or the burn is very large and deep with blisters, give your pediatrician a call just to make sure there is nothing else you should be doing. Sunburn is no different from any other kind of burn.

"WHAT I LIKED: This book is written in a funny, down to earth way that doesn't make you feel like an idiot. I really would have appreciated something like this when my kids were really little and I freaked out over everything they put in their mouths. It has a scenario/question and answer format, with clear answers on when not to panic and when to call 911."
