Why We Can't Reply

Nemours KidsHealth has lots of general information to help you better understand health issues, but we can't send a personal reply to any inquiry. The best person to give you medical advice, diagnoses, and treatment is your doctor or other qualified medical provider. Getting good care means talking personally with your doctor, who can learn about you and ask you questions, do an exam, and — when needed — order tests. Your doctor also can help guide you to qualified psychologists and other experts in emotional and behavioral issues. The Nemours KidsHealth website is for educational purposes only.

Even though we can't reply, we do read all our messages and take your input seriously.
