Pediatrics is the branch of medicine dealing with the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents from birth up to the age of 18.
Aim of a pediatrician is to reduce infant and child rate of deaths, control the spread of infectious diseases, promote healthy lifestyles for a long disease-free life and help ease the problems of children and adolescents with chronic conditions.
Pediatricians diagnose and treat several medical conditions among children.
Pediatrics is concerned not only about immediate management of the ill child but also long term effects on quality of life, disability and survival. Pediatricians are involved with the prevention, early detection, and management of problems.
In Preventive Pediatrics pediatricians vaccinate the children against many diseases.
Pediatricians also monitor normal growth of a child on standard growth curves.
Pediatricians also take care of newborns. While they manage babies with jaundice, premature babies, babies with birth asphyxia etc, it is also essential to show a healthy newborn to a pediatrician on regular basis.
