FAQ's

Medical professionals who focus on treating children are known as paediatricians. Paediatricians have received specialised training in treating disorders affecting newborns, teens, and young people. For kids in excellent health, paediatricians offer preventive care; for sick kids, they give both acute and long-term medical care. 
 

It’s not only when sick, your child should see a paediatrician. Routine well-child-care examinations should be scheduled as early as possible. These regular examinations, which are also known as well-care visits or checkups, offer the finest chance for the physician to monitor the child’s physical and mental development, counsel and educate parents, identify issues through screening tests, administer vaccinations, and build rapport. Well-care visits are highly advised as a component of paediatric preventative care. 
 

By providing a range of nutrient-dense foods, such as dairy products, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats, you can ensure the optimal development of your child. Set a good example for your child by eating properly, preparing meals together, and ensuring that mealtimes are stress-free and fun.
 

Paediatricians are skilled in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of a broad spectrum of illnesses that impact kids from birth to puberty. The following are a few of the most typical ailments that paediatricians treat: 

  • Respiratory infections (like colds, flu, and pneumonia)

  • Asthma and allergies

  • Ear infections

  • Gastrointestinal issues (like diarrhoea, constipation, and vomiting)

  • Skin conditions (like rashes, eczema, and chickenpox)

  • Fever and viral infections

  • Growth and developmental concerns

  • Immunization and preventive care

  • Infections like strep throat or urinary tract infections (UTIs)

  • Chronic conditions like diabetes and juvenile arthritis

  • Behavioural and mental health issues (such as anxiety and ADHD)

Absolutely. We advise soon-to-be parents to arrange an in-person meeting and greet with the paediatrician of their choosing. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to become familiar with newborn care, and we are happy to address any enquiries you may have about your child. 
 

Indeed, a paediatrician is essential in overseeing and treating any side effects that may occur while a child is receiving therapy. Paediatricians are skilled in identifying and treating a broad variety of adverse drug reactions that may arise from prescription drugs, treatments, or medical procedures. The following are some ways that a paediatrician can assist in treating adverse effects: 

  • Monitoring: To quickly detect any possible adverse effects, paediatricians keep a close eye on a child's health and response to therapy. 

  • Symptom management: They can offer advice on how to handle typical side effects like nausea, exhaustion, discomfort, or appetite swings. 

  • Medication modifications: To reduce adverse effects while preserving efficacy, a paediatrician may, if necessary, alter treatment plans or medication dosages. 

A series of injections given to children at various ages to help prevent serious and often fatal childhood diseases is known as vaccinations. The best way to shield your child from potentially fatal infections is to make sure they receive their vaccinations on schedule. As stated by the American Academy of Paediatrics reports, immunisations have resulted in a greater than 90% reduction in infections from diseases that can be prevented by vaccination. Do not hesitate to call our office if you have any concerns about vaccines. 
 

Allergies can be genetically passed on from parent to child, but they are neither contagious nor the product of bacterial illnesses. For example, children who have an allergic parent are more likely to experience allergies than children whose parents do not have allergies. When a child has allergies, parents should take them in for an allergy test as soon as possible.
 

Pay attention to your child's worries, acknowledge their emotions, and offer comfort and encouragement. Promote honest communication, impart coping mechanisms like deep breathing and mindfulness practices, and, if necessary, think about getting professional assistance.
 

Create an action plan with your paediatrician to take care of your child's asthma or allergies. This can entail avoiding triggers, taking prescription drugs as directed, and being aware of when to seek medical assistance for symptoms like breathing problems or severe allergic responses.
 

Establish a loving and encouraging atmosphere at home where your kids feel comfortable expressing their feelings. Provide your kids with the freedom to express themselves freely and the opportunity to participate in activities they enjoy. Seek professional assistance from a therapist or counsellor if you observe any indicators of mental health issues, such as behavioural or emotional changes.
