Pediatrics

The child's body has many differences compared to that of an adult, and it is essential to consider these when providing quality medical care. Therefore, the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases in children have become a distinct branch of medicine—pediatrics.

Children should be regularly monitored by a pediatrician even in the absence of complaints. Pediatric examinations for newborns are mandatory and should be conducted monthly. From ages 1 to 2, children should be seen by a doctor every three months, from 2 to 3 years old every six months, and thereafter once a year.

It is important to consult a pediatrician as soon as possible if your child exhibits any of the following symptoms:

• High fever;
• Cough, runny nose;
• Nausea and vomiting;
• Abdominal pain;
• Bowel irregularities;
• Headaches, dizziness;
• Chest pain;
• Paleness, cyanosis of the skin;
• Appearance of a rash;
• Decreased appetite, weight loss, etc.

In most cases, a pediatric consultation does not require specific preparation. However, it is advisable to think ahead about the questions you want to ask the doctor and, if available, to bring the results of any previous tests or other examinations.

During the appointment, the pediatrician will examine the child: listening to their breathing and heartbeat, checking their pulse, measuring their height and weight, as well as reviewing any existing complaints and familiarizing themselves with the medical history. If necessary, the pediatrician may refer the child for tests, ultrasound, or other examinations. After that, detailed recommendations regarding treatment or prevention will be provided.

A pediatrician is a doctor who should care for the child's development and well-being until they reach adulthood. For a successful collaboration, it is essential to find a specialist whom both you and the young patient can trust.
