What paediatricians treat
Paediatrics is medical care for newborns, children and teenagers. A paediatrician looks after routine growth and development, runs the vaccination schedule, treats the infections and tummy upsets of childhood, and manages longer-running conditions such as asthma, allergy and anaemia. Children are not small adults — doses, normal ranges and warning signs are all age-specific, which is why they are seen separately.
A child who is unusually drowsy or floppy, breathing fast or struggling for breath, has a rash that does not fade under pressure, is not passing urine, or has a fit needs emergency care immediately.

When to see a paediatrician
These are the reasons people most often book this department. None of them is a diagnosis — that is what the consultation is for.
What a consultation may include
Your doctor decides which of these, if any, actually answer the question — booking a scan before anyone has examined you often means the wrong scan.
- Complete blood count for infection or anaemia
- Urine test for fever without an obvious cause
- Chest X-ray when pneumonia is suspected
- Vitamin D and iron studies
- Growth-chart plotting at every visit
