Pediatric Services in Miami

As a field that deals with treating children from their birth until the age of 18, and sometimes even until the age of 21, pediatrics is a special medicinal branch that can help detect and diagnose serious health issues and conditions. Pediatrics are specifically trained to treat those of different built than adults because they require more attention and thoroughness. Their role is to follow how your child is meeting age milestones while monitoring their growth and development.

Considering that infants and children are unable to tell if they are in pain or if something is bothering them, parents should always be on the lookout for possible unusual symptoms and signs. By regularly taking their child or children to the pediatrician, parents can help detect and diagnose certain illnesses and conditions that would otherwise go unnoticed. This is why pediatrics includes different tests and screenings that can help the pediatrician establish health problems in children on time and provide them with the necessary care and treatment.

Pediatric care requires a lot of collaboration from the parents. If you notice your child becoming sick, you should immediately contact your pediatrician. Once you visit your pediatrician, they will assess your child’s health and determine if it is necessary to run further tests. In case they detect any possible health issues, they might refer you to a specialist who can provide your child with more specialized care and treatment. Special medical fields that are covered by pediatrics include pediatric cardiology, neonatal medicine, pediatric endocrinology, as well as pediatric psychiatry and other fields for treating children and adolescents.

If your child was born with special health conditions or prematurely, you might be required to take them more often to the pediatrician, perhaps every month or week. There is no need to be afraid because your pediatrician will provide you with all the necessary information and instruct you on how to behave and what to do.
