Children's pediatrics

In addition to pediatricians, other children's doctors also work at «Oxford Medical».

In the clinic, you can consult with:

• a pediatric dermatologist;
• a pediatric otolaryngologist (ENT);
• pediatric urologist;
• pediatric traumatologist;
• pediatric ophthalmologist.

All specialists have many years of experience and know how to find an approach to each small patient.

To ensure your child's good health, it is important to see a pediatrician in Poznyaki or at another address not only during illness, but also on a regular basis. Periodically, you need to take tests, do ultrasounds, and get vaccinated. Prevention can protect your child from many serious diseases.

Scheduled examinations by a pediatrician are carried out:

• On the 5th, 7th, 10th, and 30th day after birth;
• Once a month until the child is 1 year old;
• Twice a year from 1 to 3 years old;
• Once a year from 3 to 18 years old.

It is important that during the first year of life, the pediatrician regularly examines the child. For this, it is not always necessary to go to the clinic - if tests and other examinations are not prescribed, the doctor can be called at home.

During the consultation, the pediatrician in the new pediatrics in Poznyaki and in other clinics in Kyiv and Irpin checks the weight and height of the baby, his reflexes, listens to breathing and heartbeat with a stethoscope and performs other planned procedures. The pediatrician also monitors the vaccination according to a general or individual schedule.

The specialist can tell parents how to care for the child, when and what complementary foods to introduce, as well as answer other questions that concern them.

After 1 year, if the child is healthy, he can be shown to the pediatrician once every 6 months, and after 3 years - once a year.

It is also mandatory to examine the child before entering kindergarten, school and when moving to the next grade.

The kids fall ill very often, due to which over some time the parents stop worrying about cough or runny nose, not applying to the pediatrician. However, not severe, but permanent symptoms are the sign of chronic slowly progressive diseases. That is why, if you see that your child is not healthy, it is better to apply to the doctor immediately in order to diagnose and treat possible disease at the early stage, before the appearance of complications.

The warning signs can be:

• high temperature;
• cough;
• runny nose;
• sluggishness and general weakness;
• skin redness or rash;
• stomachache;
• diarrhea or constipation;
• rapid heartbeat;
• pain in the back, extremities etc.

During the consultation, the pediatrician first communicates with the parents and the child. He asks about the symptoms that concern him, behavior, etc. After that, when the baby gets used to the doctor, he conducts an examination. In case of mild diseases (cold, flu, etc.), the pediatrician can immediately make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment. In other cases, as a rule, diagnostics are required.

Children undergo:

• laboratory tests of blood, urine, feces or sputum;
• instrumental examinations - ultrasound, X-ray, CT, gastroscopy, etc.

At Oxford Medical, you can do a full range of tests and undergo other examinations. The clinic has new expert-class equipment that allows you to detect even the most insignificant changes in the child’s body.

Oxford Medical specialists are guided by the principles of evidence-based medicine and prescribe treatment for children only after confirming the diagnosis. The therapy program is developed individually, in accordance with state and international treatment protocols.

Depending on the disease, the child may be prescribed:

• drug treatment;
• physiotherapy procedures;
• massage;
• therapeutic exercises;
• diet;
• surgical intervention.

Most childhood diseases are amenable to drug therapy. The doctor may prescribe drugs to eliminate infection and inflammation, normalize the functioning of organs, and also alleviate the symptoms that torment the baby. Most often, treatment takes place at home. At the same time, the doctor regularly examines the child and maintains contact with the parents in case of emergency situations. If the disease is serious, hospitalization in the clinic may be required.

Also, for better recovery, children are prescribed physiotherapy procedures, massage, gymnastics and/or diet. The pediatrician gives personal recommendations to each patient.

In cases of diseases that are not amenable to conservative therapy, the child may be recommended surgery. Currently, most of them are performed using minimally invasive methods, which shortens the duration of hospitalization and facilitates the rehabilitation period.

Physiotherapy procedures are one of the important components of the treatment of children's diseases.

Oxford Medical provides:

• massage;
• inhalations through a nebulizer;
• electrophoresis;
• quartz tube;
• phonophoresis;
• magnetic laser therapy;
• speleotherapy (salt room).

These procedures can be performed in a day hospital without hospitalization.
