Pediatrics

Diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases in children from 0 to 18 years of age. These diseases fall within the scope of a pediatrician’s expertise

Symptoms and main conditions

The complexity of treating pediatric diseases lies in the fact that a child’s body not only significantly differs from that of an adult but also varies among different age groups from birth to maturity. As children grow, their responses to the environment, nutritional needs, ability to resist infections, and tolerance to various diseases undergo significant changes.

Therefore, pediatric diseases can vary widely and include disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, rickets, infectious diseases (such as influenza, diphtheria, pertussis, measles, chickenpox, and others), endocrine disorders, and more

What does a pediatrician do:

• Consults and thoroughly examines the child
• Monitors the child’s development from birth until they reach 18 years of age
• Provides recommendations for proper nutrition during the developmental period for children and adolescents
• Refers to specialized specialists for additional consultations if necessary
• Refers for laboratory and instrumental examinations and interprets their results
• Diagnoses the disease, prescribes and conducts treatment, and provides recommendations for disease prevention
