An estimated 1.9 million American children travel internationally
each year, and the number is increasing. In general, children face most

more serious. Some conditions can be difficult to recognize in children,
especially in those who aren't talking yet. If you are planning to
travel to another country with your kids, be familiar with the risks of
travel to help them stay safe and healthy.
