Introduction

This blog is to provide answers to questions from parents about childhood illnesses.

I’m David Robinson, a recently retired paediatrician, and I ran a successful and popular Q&A press column for some years.

I’ve always believed it’s better to answer the questions asked by parents rather than write articles about what I think they want to know.

I have six children, now adults, and three grandchildren.

To get the ball rolling, I’ll feature some answers to questions I’ve received in the past.

If you want to ask a question, or require a more detailed follow up question or answer is needed, please email me. I look forward to your questions!
