A pediatrician is a physician who specializes in the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents, from birth to young adulthood. Pediatricians emphasize preventive health, growth and development monitoring, disease management, and developmental support.
A pediatrician should be consulted for regular checkups and vaccinations, to monitor growth and development, or if you are concerned about your child due to the following symptoms: fever, cough, vomiting, rash, difficulty feeding, or behavioral changes.
While general doctors provide medical care for patients of all ages, pediatricians receive special medical training in the care of children, including their unique developmental stages and medical needs, growing body, and developing immune system. A pediatrician will also be able to ensure the treatment and advice are appropriate for your child's developmental stage.
Pediatricians will treat many medical concerns seen in children, including infections, allergies, asthma, growth and nutrition issues, behavioral problems, and developmental delays.
Regular checkups are recommended every few months when your child is an infant and then annually after your child is two years old. It is important to monitor a child's growth and development and administer vaccines to protect against disease. Checkups are regular visits to check for and diagnose health concerns prior to becoming serious.
Pediatricians deliver comprehensive healthcare to children of all ages, neonatologists focus on the care of newborns, including premature or otherwise critically ill newborns.
