Printable Symptom & Medication Tracker

When your child isn’t feeling well, keeping track of symptoms and medications can help you stay on top of their care. This easy-to-use tracker is designed to help you record details like temperature, medications given, and any changes in symptoms. Bring it to doctor visits, or just keep it handy for peace of mind at home.

How to Use This Tracker

  1. Record Symptoms & Temperature Write down any symptoms and the child’s temperature, if applicable. Note how severe each symptom is (mild, moderate, or severe).
  2. Track Medications & Doses Record each medication given, including dosage and the time it was administered. This helps avoid missed or double doses.
  3. Note Changes in Symptoms Watch for any improvement or worsening in symptoms. This information can be very helpful if you need to consult your doctor.
  4. Doctor’s Contact Keep your child’s pediatrician’s contact info on this sheet for quick access if needed.

Additional Tips

  • Set Alarms for Medications For scheduled medications like antibiotics, use a phone alarm to stay on track.
  • Review Notes Before Doctor Visits If you’re bringing your child to the doctor, bring this tracker along. It will make it easy to give an accurate history.
  • Record Hydration & Appetite If your child isn’t drinking or eating much, make a note of it here. Dehydration can be a concern when kids are sick.

Tracking symptoms and medications can help you feel more in control, especially during those late nights and long days when you’re caring for your little one. Save or print this page and use it whenever needed—it’s one small way to make things a little easier.
