Pediatrics is focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in children from birth to adolescence. Parents consult a pediatrician if their child has a fever, cough, rash, sore throat, abdominal pain, changes in behavior, appetite or sleep, and also for regular check-ups and vaccinations.
The pediatrician monitors the child’s development, promptly detects and treats infectious, allergic, chronic, and acute diseases, and provides advice on nutrition, hygiene, and immunization. A pediatrician helps maintain the child’s health, supports parents, and guides the patient through all stages of development.
