When is it time to See a Pediatrician?

A pediatrician is needed not only to treat an illness but also to monitor the child's development and growth. Routine consultations with a pediatrician take place:

• up to the age of 1 year - on days 5-7 and 14 of life, then monthly until the age of 1 year;
• 1-2 years - every 6 months;
• 3-18 years old - annually.

All children should be examined by a paediatrician when a routine vaccination date is set, to rule out any contraindications to vaccination. A pediatrician’s opinion is also required before starting kindergarten, school, sports and recreational activities.

What is a Pediatrician’s Appointment Like?

A pediatrician is a doctor who monitors and treats a child from birth to puberty. He or she examines the development of various diseases, prescribes diagnosis, therapy and prevention of pathologies, and teaches parents how to take good care of their child during the period of illness.

During a pediatrician’s check-up the following activities are carried out:

• examination of complaints, life and medical history;
• general examination, listening, percussion, weighing, measuring height, chest and head circumference;
• prescription of necessary tests or instrumental examinations to clarify the clinical picture of the disease;
• monitoring the course of the disease and the effectiveness of the treatment prescribed;
• supervision of the child's chronic diseases (the paediatrician may prescribe check-ups with a paediatric immunologist, neurologist, cardiologist and other specialists in the field, or perform tests or instrumental diagnostics to monitor the progression of the disease);
• preventive vaccinations are administered;
• training in the proper formulation of a daily menu according to the child's age, including the treatment of pathologies requiring diet therapy.

If necessary, after the consultation, the paediatrician will refer the patient to a subspecialist consultation. CBS offers the best possible conditions for receiving comprehensive medical care, so you can have tests and consultations prescribed by a doctor without leaving CBS.

Diagnostic Methods

In pediatrics, methods are used to assess general health and diagnose diseases, such as:

• anthropological measurements (weighing, measurement of height, head, abdomen and chest circumference, dynamometry, spirometry);
• laboratory tests (clinical, biochemical, immunological and genetic tests, various allergy tests, etc.);
• instrumental techniques (ultrasound, X-rays, ECG, EchoCG, EEG, CT, MRI and others).

After the pediatrician’s appointment, the clinic can also provide consultations with relevant specialists (neurologist, gastroenterologist, orthopaedist, cardiologist, reflexologist, physical therapist, etc.).

Treatment of Childhood Illnesses

In clinical practice, pediatricians use various techniques to treat children:

• pharmacological: an oral medication, injections (subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous), drips, drugs for external use, inhalation, etc.;
• physiotherapy: massage, physical therapy, reflexology, electrophoresis, magnetic therapy, etc.;
• diet therapy: correction of the daily diet, observance of a therapeutic diet.

If necessary, this is supplemented by specialist recommendations on proper care, daily regime and feeding of the sick child.
