FAQ
A pediatrician is a medical doctor who specializes in the care of your children. Pediatricians provide preventative care and medical care for children who are acutely or chronically ill.
Other than the visits during an illness, it is also important to schedule well-child care exams regularly, beginning from infancy. Routine examinations provide the bests opportunity for the doctor to observe the progress of your child’s physical and mental growth and development, counsel and teach parents, detect problems through screening tests, provide immunizations and get to know one another. Well-care visits are strongly recommended as part of preventative pediatric care. Well-child visits are also a good time for parents to raise questions and concerns about a child’s development, behavior, nutrition, safety and overall well-being.
Vaccines are complex biological agents which give immunity against a particular disease without getting sick. Vaccinations are the best ways to prevent disease. Even if the disease occurs in vaccinated children the severity of the disease is significantly milder. Vaccines are probably the most useful and cost-effective public health tools known to mankind for preventing diseases. It is also important that you get your child vaccinated at the specified time.
A child’s growth is assessed by measuring his/her weight, length ( In children <2 years), and height (for children > 2 years). To know your child is growing well pediatrician will check your child’s height weight/length and compare it with the expected age and gender of the child by using growth charts.
If a child consumes a balanced diet, no need to add supplements. But in most children, this is not possible and they may require additional supplements. In infants since their growth is very rapid, you will have to supplement with vitamin D. On an individual basis, you may discuss with your pediatrician whether the child requires supplements like iron, vitamin A, iodine, or zinc.
