Paediatrics

Paediatricians are specially trained medical doctors who work with babies, infants, adolescents, and young adults. Children experience rapid physical, emotional, and behavioural changes as they grow up. Children and teenagers have unique medical needs that might fall outside the expertise of doctors who primarily treat adults.

How can paediatricians help you?

Parents may bring their child to a paediatrician for a regular scheduled examination or as the result of a complaint, such as injury or illness. The paediatrician may weigh and measure the child; look into the eyes, ears, nose, and throat; listen to the lungs and heartbeat, and ask general questions about the child’s health. A paediatrician may check for such common growth issues, such as joint misalignments. The paediatrician may order such additional tests as X rays or urine samples.

The paediatrician must be versed in treating childhood injuries and illnesses. A number of infections are more common among children than adults. Children are also prone to such injuries as sprains and broken bones. Paediatricians often prescribe such medicines as antibiotics and painkillers. They are also responsible for administering regular immunizations that help prevent disease. The paediatrician may refer the child to a specialist for more serious issues or ones requiring highly specialized care.

What are common diseases treated by a paediatrician?

The common illnesses treated by Paediatricians are-

• Common Cold, this is common among infants and toddlers. The child will have a blocked or runny nose, watery eyes, may sneeze and cough. If the child’s body feels hot, it could also be running a fever.
• Bronchitis/Bronchiolitis, an infection of the small airways of the baby. It could be wheezing i.e. making a high-pitched whistling sound when breathing out, breathing rapidly or having trouble breathing.
• Stomach Flu, If your child is suffering from nausea, vomiting, its stool smelly and watery, it could be having the stomach flu, or an infection in its gut. Other symptoms include muscle aches, abdominal pain and a slight fever.
• Chicken Pox, A highly contagious viral infection which causes an itchy, blister-like rash on the skin.
• Eczema, an itchy inflammation of the skin that usually develops in early childhood and is more common in people who have a family history of the condition.
• Asthma, A condition in which the baby’s airways become inflamed, narrow and swell and produce extra mucus, which makes it difficult to breathe.
