Pediatrics

Why do patients choose pediatricians of Euromed Clinic?

Euromed pediatricians are attentive and empathetic specialists, they adhere to evidence-based medicine and do not prescribe unnecessary medications. The pediatrician looks after the child’s health, knows and remembers his previous diseases and, what is especially important, finds a common language with both the child and the parents.

What diseases does a pediatrician treat?

A pediatrician deals with all specific children’s diseases, for example:

• Acute respiratory viral infection and its complications (bronchitis, pneumonia, etc.);
• Intestinal infectious diseases and bowel disorders;
• Allergy;
• Bronchial asthma;
• Kidney disease (glomerulonephritis);
• Angina;
• Children’s infectious diseases (chickenpox, scarlet fever, etc.);
• Rheumatism and many others.

When should I visit a pediatrician?

There is a recommended schedule. In the first year of a child’s life the parents meet with the pediatrician monthly (at the clinic or at home), in the second year, the pediatrician examines the child once every three months, then once a year. Besides, people usually see the pediatrician if the child has:

• fever;
• cough, bad cold in case of acute respiratory viral infection;
• vomiting, diarrhea;
• stomachache or headache;
• allergic conditions;
• in any other cases when the child has any complaints or issues.

Diagnostic methods of a pediatrician:

1. Examination of the child, discussion with parents and the child;
2. Lab tests (blood, urine, stool), if necessary;
3. Ultrasound,
4. X-ray and other examinations.

What happens during a pediatrician’s appointment

Unlike an “adult” GP, the first thing that a pediatrician has to do is to gain the child’s trust. Then, after obtaining his “consent”, the doctor makes a thorough examination. The pediatrician has a conversation with parents and the child (if the latter can speak). The doctor reviews case history, tests results and prescribes additional investigations, if necessary.

If the picture is clear, the pediatrician decides what to do: either he will treat the patient independently, or he will send the patient to another medical specialist.
