About the department

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.

When it is an emergency

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.

Fever lasting more than three days, or fever in a baby under three months
Repeated cough or wheeze, especially at night
Not gaining weight, or falling off the growth chart
Feeding problems, or persistent vomiting or loose motions
Missed milestones — sitting, walking, speech
The next due vaccination in your child's schedule
Tests and scans

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
Questions, answered

Paediatrics — common questions

Paediatricians commonly see patients up to about 18. The handover is usually gradual, and your paediatrician will tell you when a specific adult specialist is the better fit.

Almost never. Catch-up schedules exist for exactly this. Bring the vaccination card — or a photo of it — and your paediatrician will plot the remaining doses.

Video works well for follow-ups, rashes you can show on camera, report reviews and feeding advice. A fever in a young baby, breathing difficulty or a child who seems unwell should always be seen in person.

The vaccination card, the growth chart if you have one, a note of the medicines and doses given so far, and — for a fever — the times and readings you have recorded.
