The purpose of this study is to implement the forward chaining method in making an expert system for diagnosing pediatric diseases, inference reasoning techniques used to reach conclusions and according to needs. The inference mechanism for diagnosing children's diseases is using a forward chaining technique (forward reasoning) which starts the search from a set of diagnostic data and facts, each data and facts that cause disease are interrelated so that they can produce diagnostic conclusions. This expert system utilizes the results of the acquisition of knowledge from experts or doctors and can be a means of assisting parents to diagnose children's diseases to find out any early symptoms experienced by children.
