Pediatrics Department

Comprehensive Medical Care for Infants, Children, and Teenagers

What is Pediatrics?

The Pediatrics Department is dedicated to the health and medical care of children — from newborns to teenagers (0–18 years). Pediatricians focus on both physical and mental development, ensuring your child grows up healthy, strong, and protected from disease.

This department covers everything from routine checkups to complex medical conditions in children.

What Conditions Are Treated?

Pediatricians treat a wide variety of child-specific conditions, including:

Fever, cold, cough, and viral infections
Ear infections, throat infections, and tonsillitis
Stomach issues – vomiting, diarrhea, constipation
Asthma and allergies
Skin rashes, eczema, and diaper rash
Nutritional deficiencies and poor weight gain
Delayed growth or development issues
Childhood diabetes or hormonal problems
Behavioral concerns (e.g., hyperactivity, anxiety)

How Is Diagnosis Done?

Pediatric care involves both observation and specific tests:

Clinical examination based on symptoms and age
Growth tracking – height, weight, and developmental milestones
Blood tests for infections or nutritional levels
Imaging (X-ray, ultrasound) in case of injury or internal issues
Monitoring for emotional or behavioral disorders
