Coughs and colds in children with heart conditions – a parents’ guide

Coughs and colds are an inevitable part of this time of year and can be the cause of some anxiety, especially during a baby’s first winter, particularly when they have an ongoing heart condition to contend with already.

We have produced this guide to help you to navigate your way through the winter cold and flu season. Please click here.
