Hi! I’m Christina O'Leary, a certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner who has spent years helping families navigate everything from everyday coughs and fevers to moments when something just doesn't feel right.
One of the questions I hear most is, "How do I know if I should worry?"
That's why I created Should I Worry? -- to give parents the practical information I wish every family had at home: what to watch, what you can usually do for comfort, how common illnesses tend to progress, and when it's time to call your child's provider or seek more urgent care.
My goal isn't to turn parents into clinicians. It's to help you feel informed, more prepared, and less alone when your child is sick.
