About Pediatrician Doctors

Common Conditions Treated by a Pediatrician

Respiratory Infections (Cold, Cough, Pneumonia)

Viral and bacterial infections of the airways, the most common reason for pediatric visits in India.

Diarrhoea & Dehydration

Frequent loose stools, often caused by viral/bacterial infections or contaminated water. Leading cause of child mortality in India.

Asthma & Allergies

Chronic airway inflammation causing breathing difficulty, triggered by allergens, pollution, or exercise.

Growth & Developmental Delays

When a child is significantly behind peers in physical growth, motor skills, speech, or cognitive development.

Ear Infections (Otitis Media)

Infection of the middle ear, extremely common in children under 5 due to shorter Eustachian tubes.

Malnutrition & Anaemia

Nutritional deficiencies affecting growth and development, very common in Indian children under 5.

Chickenpox & Measles

Highly contagious viral infections preventable by vaccination. Still common in under-vaccinated communities.

Child Health Tips from a Pediatrician

Complete all vaccinations on schedule
Ensure adequate nutrition with proteins, iron, and calcium
Encourage 60 minutes of physical activity daily
Limit screen time: zero for under 2, max 1 hour for ages 2-5
Teach proper handwashing with soap
Ensure 10-14 hours of sleep (varies by age)

How to Prepare for Your Child's Pediatrician Visit

Before Your Visit

Bring the child's vaccination card and previous health records
Note the child's symptoms — when they started, any triggers, and what helps
Write down the child's current diet and eating patterns
Bring a list of any medications the child is currently taking
Note developmental milestones — when they started walking, talking, etc.

During the Appointment

The doctor will measure height, weight, and head circumference (for infants)
Expect a physical examination — ears, throat, chest, abdomen
Discuss vaccination schedule and upcoming shots
Ask about age-appropriate nutrition and sleep requirements
Don't hesitate to ask about behavioural or developmental concerns

After the Visit

Give medications exactly as prescribed — complete the full course
Monitor symptoms and note any changes or new concerns
Follow dietary advice and track eating habits
Schedule the next vaccination or follow-up visit
Red flags: high fever, refusal to eat/drink, unusual lethargy, rash, or difficulty breathing

Questions to Ask Your Pediatrician

1.Is my child's growth and development on track for their age?
2.Are my child's vaccinations up to date?
3.What is my child's ideal weight and height for their age?
4.When should I be concerned about a fever vs. letting it run its course?
5.What foods should I include for better growth and immunity?
6.How much screen time is safe for my child's age?
7.Should my child take any vitamin or iron supplements?
8.Is this a viral infection or does it need antibiotics?

When Should You Take Your Child to a Pediatrician?

A Pediatrician specializes in the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents (0-18 years). Regular pediatric visits are essential for monitoring growth, development, and vaccination schedules.

Fever above 100.4°F (38°C) in infants under 3 months
Persistent fever for more than 3 days in older children
Difficulty breathing, rapid breathing, or wheezing
Refusing to eat or drink for more than 24 hours
Unusual rash, skin infection, or allergic reaction
Delayed milestones — not walking by 18 months, not speaking by 2 years
Frequent ear infections, tonsillitis, or respiratory infections
Behavioural concerns — hyperactivity, poor concentration, social withdrawal

Seek emergency care immediately if your child has a seizure, becomes unconscious, has difficulty breathing, shows signs of dehydration (dry mouth, no tears, no urination for 6+ hours), or ingests a harmful substance.
