PEDIATRICS

We have a friendly team of Pediatric Specialists to provide the best care at every stage of your child’s development.

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine dealing with the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents from birth up to the age of 18.

What does a pediatrician do?
A pediatrician is a child’s physician who provides not only medical care for children who are acutely or chronically ill but also preventive health services for healthy children. A pediatrician manages physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the children under their care at every stage of development, in both sickness and health.

How does pediatrics differ from adult medicine?

Pediatrics is different from adult medicine in more ways than one. The smaller body of an infant or neonate or a child is substantially different physiologically from that of an adult. So treating children is not like treating a miniature adult. Congenital defects, genetic variance, and developmental issues are of greater concern to pediatricians than physicians treating adults. In addition, there are several legal issues in pediatrics. Children are minors and, in most jurisdictions, cannot make decisions for themselves. The issues of guardianship, privacy, legal responsibility and informed consent should be considered in every pediatric procedure.

Paediatricians diagnose and treat several conditions among children including:-
  • Common cough, cold and fever
  • Asthma and other respiratory disorders
  • Food allergies
  • Skin infections
  • Gastrointestinal disorders like diarrhea, constipation, colic pain, vomiting
  • ENT problems
  • Paediatric cardiology
  • Paediatric surgeries major and minor conducted
  • Nutrition counselling for toddlers and children detailing about when, why, what and how to start solids.
  • Developmental paediatrics dealing with delayed motor and sensory progress.
  • Behavioural disorders like ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactive disorder), ADD (Attention deficit disorder)
  • Immunization
  • Paediatric and adolescent endocrinology (problems regarding growth, puberty, thyroid, diabetes, obesity, bone and calcium disorders etc.
