Pediatrics

Comprehensive Care For your Child at Vitalife, Pune

Consultants

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on the medical care of infants, kids, and teenagers. Pediatricians usually work with children from birth up to 18 years old. At Vitalife, Pune, we understand that children are not just “small adults”. They have unique characteristics and needs. Our pediatricians provide comprehensive care for your child, from preventive health services to the diagnosis and treatment of common childhood illnesses.

Circumcision

Boys have a fold of skin covering the tip of the penis. It is called foreskin or prepuce. Circumcision is a surgical process in which the foreskin is removed either partially or completely.

Cleft Lip & Cleft Palate

Lips and palate help in forming words, eating, drinking, and swallowing food. Any defect in the lips, mouth, and palate interferes with these processes. Cleft lip and palate are defects by birth in which the lips, mouth, and palate structures are not joined fully in the middle line of the face, a process that takes place when the baby is growing inside your womb and is completed by the end of twelve weeks of pregnancy. With incomplete joining, an opening may remain on one or both sides of the upper lip or may extend to the nose.

Common Illnesses

Common pediatric illnesses include the common cold, fever, cough, stomach pain, and nausea/vomiting. Although most of these illnesses are minor and will resolve without treatment, it is always important to consult with a pediatrician if your child is experiencing any symptoms of illness since some symptoms may be indicative of a more serious condition.

Newborn Care

Your baby’s first few days, weeks, and months are very special. At Vitalife, Pune, our team of pediatricians and nurses is here to help you every step of the way, from delivery through the early newborn period. We offer a wide range of services to meet the needs of you and your baby.

Regular Checkup

It is advised to bring your child for a regular checkup at least once a year. This allows the pediatrician to monitor your child’s growth and development, as well as to provide information about how to keep your child healthy. Regular checkups also provide an opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have about your child’s health.

Skin Allergy

Itchy, red, and scaly skin are common symptoms of skin allergies. Skin allergies can be caused by several things, including environmental factors, certain foods, and even medications. If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to consult with a pediatrician to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment.

Vaccination/Immunization

Vaccination is one of the most important things you can do to protect your child from serious illnesses. Vaccines work by protecting against specific diseases. Immunization is the process by which a person gets immunity to a disease.

Vaccines are recommended for all children, starting at birth. The schedule of vaccinations is designed to protect infants and children early in life when they are most vulnerable to serious illnesses.

Illnesses and Conditions

There are several common illnesses and conditions that affect children. These include the common cold, ear infections, and gastroenteritis (stomach flu). Many of these concerns are minor and will go away on their own without treatment, but some can be more severe. As a result, it’s critical to contact a pediatrician if your child has any signs of sickness.

Infant Care

The first few weeks and months of a baby’s life are crucial to its development. During this time, pediatricians provide comprehensive medical care to ensure that babies are growing and developing properly. This care includes routine checkups, immunizations, and diagnostic testing. In addition, pediatricians also offer guidance on feeding, sleep, and child development. By providing high-quality infant care, pediatricians help to ensure that babies are healthy and happy.

Growth and Nutrition

A child’s nutritional needs are different from an adult’s, both in terms of quantity and quality. A well-balanced diet is essential for proper growth and development. Pediatricians can help parents ensure that their children are getting the nutrition they need. They can provide guidance on feeding during infancy and childhood, and offer advice on how to handle picky eaters or those with special dietary needs. With proper nutrition, children will grow and develop into healthy adults.
