Dear reviewer:

Please do not ask me to replace "call your child's doctor right away" with "seek medical attention right away". Your alternative is abstract. It has needlessly complex words. It is not helpful. It pokes sharp sticks at the principles of plain language. If parents should not be calling their child's doctor, what should they be doing? Exactly? Multiple options are also acceptable.

Thanking you in advance for your kind attention,

ELL

Hiho,

Hmmm... Well, unless the concern is that not all people have a doctor for their child these days?

Cu,

Fair enough, but do they want the parent to take the child to hospital? Go to a walk-in clinic? Call 911? All of the above? I just need specifics. ;)
