Symptom Checker

Have Questions About Your Child's Symptoms?
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) offers a free online symptom checker to help parents explore common childhood symptoms and learn what to consider when deciding on next steps.
Use this tool as a starting point when you have questions about your child's symptoms. It can help you organize your concerns and decide what questions to ask your child's healthcare provider.
Every child and situation is different. The symptom checker does not replace a medical evaluation or advice from your child's healthcare team. If you are concerned about your child's condition, contact Advanced Pediatrics for guidance.
