General paediatrics is the medical specialty that focuses on the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents, typically from birth up to 18 years. Paediatricians manage a wide range of physical, mental, and developmental conditions in children.

General paediatricians treat a variety of conditions, including common childhood illnesses like colds, infections, asthma, allergies, growth and developmental concerns, behavioural issues, and chronic conditions such as diabetes or epilepsy.

You should take your child to a paediatrician for routine check-ups, vaccinations, growth and developmental assessments, or when your child is experiencing illness, unusual symptoms, or any concerns about their health and wellbeing.

During an appointment, the paediatrician will assess your child’s overall health, growth, and development. They may perform a physical examination, review your child’s medical history, and ask about symptoms or concerns. The paediatrician may also order tests or recommend treatments based on the findings.

Newborns and infants typically need more frequent visits for vaccinations and developmental monitoring. As children grow older, annual check-ups are usually recommended unless they have ongoing medical concerns that require more regular monitoring.

A general practitioner (GP) treats patients of all ages, while a paediatrician specializes exclusively in the health and medical needs of children. Paediatricians have additional training in managing childhood illnesses and developmental issues.

Yes, paediatricians provide routine childhood vaccinations according to the recommended immunization schedule. They also advise on any special vaccines that may be needed based on your child’s health or travel plans.

Yes, if your child’s condition requires specialized care, a general paediatrician can refer you to paediatric specialists, such as a paediatric cardiologist, neurologist, or endocrinologist, depending on the specific health issue.

In most countries, general paediatric services are covered by public healthcare systems or private health insurance. Routine check-ups, vaccinations, and treatments for childhood illnesses are typically included, but it’s important to check specific coverage details with your healthcare provider.

To prepare for the appointment, bring your child’s medical history, any relevant documents (e.g., vaccination records, previous test results), and a list of concerns or symptoms you want to discuss. Be ready to talk about your child’s development, eating habits, and any recent changes in behaviour or health.
