They diagnose and treat diseases as well as track the physical and mental development of children in all age groups.

When to see a paediatrician

Babies are checked by a paediatrician from day one, and you will have to see a paediatrician frequently for routine check-ups until they reach a certain age. The frequency of these visits might depend on the child’s overall health condition and age. You should also take your child to see a paediatrician if symptoms like those from the list below persist:

• High Fever
• Diarrhoea and/or vomiting
• Cold, cough, and other respiratory problem
• Rash
• Persistent pain anywhere
• Other symptoms that don’t ease within a few days
