How can I help my child if they are diagnosed with Crohn’s disease?
First, make sure that your child is educated about the many facets of Crohn’s disease. You can find literature that is appropriate for your child’s age group. You can also seek out support groups for Crohn’s disease that are targeted for children and teens. In addition, see if there are any medications or procedures that are safe for your child to undergo to reduce pain and inflammation. Your doctor can provide you with a list of safe options. Make sure to talk with your child about their disease.
