Dr Golly's Guide to Family Illness is a comprehensive, accessible and reassuring guide to general children’s health and daycare illnesses: from common colds to ear infections.  

Dr Daniel Golshevsky – also known as Dr Golly – is a paediatrician and father of three who has spent years working with thousands of babies and children. He knows how overwhelming those first few years of rashes, coughs and sniffles can be, and is here to help you learn when to be worried, how to recognise symptoms and what to do next.   

As children move around the community, it’s inevitable they’ll pick up a few bugs or lurgies on the way. This resource is your go-to guide, helping you navigate through many of the most common illnesses, basic management plans and more importantly, how to identify severe illness when you may need more support.

With a focus on understanding that sickness is inevitable, Dr Golly can teach us how to minimise and manage these illnesses to get your child better, sooner.

Dr Daniel Golshevsky, also known as Dr Golly, is a Melbourne-based paediatrician and father of three. Specialising in unsettled babies and poor sleep, Dr Golly has worked with thousands of babies over more than a decade of practice. He graduated in medicine at the University of Melbourne, and is the former Chief Resident Medical Officer of the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH), where he has worked since 2009. 

With a focus on empowering parents and protecting mothers, Dr Golly's philosophy is about turning up the volume of that innate parental instinct to maximise parents’ understanding of their baby’s cues and bring everyone closer to a full night’s sleep.
