A paediatrician is a child’s physician who provides medical care for newborns, toddlers, kids and adolescents. A paediatrician specialises in diagnosing acute, chronic, and critical child health problems.
Paediatricians focus not only on a child’s health but also their overall well-being. From a child’s nutrition to growth and development, a paediatrician will have all the answers for you!
A paediatrician takes care of your child’s overall health. They conduct regular check-ups to ensure your baby is growing hale and healthy. As a parent to a newborn, you must visit a paediatrician frequently until the baby turns 2.
During your visit to a paediatrician, you can expect them to:
As parents watching your child in pain is the worst feeling. Little kids and growing children fall sick often, given their developing immunities. Only a paediatrician can diagnose their condition and prescribe medication.
You might question why a general physician cannot treat your baby. The answer to this is simple. Paediatricians receive training to examine children because they are more sensitive than adults. The medication and diagnosis process differs. Hence paediatricians are crucial to take care of your child’s health.
Now that you have a fair idea about what a paediatrician does, let’s answer your question, “When should I take my child to the paediatrician?’
Your visits to a paediatrician vary with the child’s growth. Your paediatrician will prescribe regular visits from about a week after the child’s birth. During your child’s toddler years, frequent consultations are essential for monitoring the child’s overall physical and psychological health.
Visiting a paediatrician near you once a month during their early and primary school years aids in disease prevention, detecting deviations in developmental patterns, and answering your questions about the child’s health.
It is a good practice to consult your paediatrician before self-medicating your child in times of illness.
