Pediatrics at the NOVO Medical Center in Lviv
Pediatrics is a branch of medicine that deals with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in children from birth to 18 years of age. A pediatrician is the most important doctor in a child's life, because even in the maternity hospital, a neonatologist examines newborns, evaluates reflexes, and the function of all organs and systems. In the first week after discharge, the child is examined by a pediatrician at home. And it is with this specialist that the family will communicate about any children's health problems until the child comes of age. In the first year of a child's life, parents must visit a pediatrician for a mandatory routine check-up, during which the doctor assesses the child's height, weight gain, nutrition, and basic reflexes. The specialist pays special attention to their physical and mental development, and if any deviations from the norm are detected, they must refer the child to a specialized specialist.
This branch of medicine includes:
- diagnosis of all organs and systems of the child at the stage of the initial examination to correctly assess the condition of the baby;
- interaction with pediatric neurologists, surgeons, oncologists, etc.;
- formation of the child's immunity and general resistance to diseases;
- studying the degree of readiness of the child for school in the context of socialization and acquiring practical skills;
- assessment of mental development;
- application of new treatment methods.
It is important for parents to remember that a child during the first year of life must undergo mandatory vaccination according to the vaccination schedule. In the future, visits to the pediatrician occur as needed - when parents have complaints about the health of the baby. In a child, diseases develop much faster than in an adult. Therefore, even minor symptoms, which should be paid attention to immediately, can cause harm to health.
