Doctors who are trained in the field of pediatrics, which is a branch of medical science that deals with diagnosing, preventing, and treating infants, kids, and adolescents, are called pediatricians. They provide medical treatment for a child’s illness. Pediatricians physically examine your child, give them vaccinations, keep a record of your child’s growth and development, and educate you about your child’s nutritional needs.
A pediatrician is trained to perform the following procedures on kids:
- Giving vaccination.
- Treat dislocation of joints.
- Temporary fracture splinting.
- Lumbar puncture.
- Perform circumcisions.
- Intubation.
- Suturing a wound.
Pediatricians not only treat toddlers but also treat infants and kids and adolescents up to 18 to 21 years of age.
You can consult a pediatrician immediately after your baby is born. The doctor will conduct physical examinations to look for any abnormalities in the child, and schedule a time table for administering vaccinations.
Pediatricians normally do not perform surgeries unless they are trained in doing them. They usually perform medical treatment for your child’s illness and perform minor procedures like circumcisions. A pediatric surgeon performs surgeries on children.
A pediatrician normally treats infants, toddlers, children, adolescents, and young adults up to the age of 18 to 21 years.
Yes, most cases of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) are diagnosed and treated by a psychologist. Even though it is a psychiatric and mental problem, most pediatricians can handle it extremely well.
Most pediatricians do not treat young adults, who are older than 21 years. So it is best to switch to a general or family physician between 18 and 21 years of age.
Pediatricians are specially trained to spot and treat children. This includes treatment for mental, physical, and behavioral problems. They are trained to effectively diagnose a childhood condition, which a general physician might overlook or miss.
A pediatrician and a general pediatrician are the same. They prevent, diagnose, and treat childhood diseases and conditions.
