Consultation of a pediatrician in Ternopil

Pediatrics is a branch of medicine that deals with patients from birth to 18 years. The competence of a pediatrician includes medical support of young patients: prevention, diagnosis and treatment of children's diseases.

The body of a child or adolescent is different from the body of an adult. Therefore, their physiological and pathological processes also take place differently. Children's diseases progress faster, and the body is often prone to nonspecific reactions or infections. Thus, the main task of a pediatrician combines the most effective prevention of diseases and their timely diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.

The pediatrician is the first assistant to parents of infants, because he is the one who can answer all the questions related to breastfeeding, nutrition of children in different periods of their development, the formation of healthy lifestyle habits, sleep patterns.

Pediatricians work with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (dysbacteriosis, enteritis, diarrhoea, etc.), ENT organs (tonsillitis, otitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, rhinitis, adenoiditis, etc.), musculoskeletal system (dysplasia, posture disorders), respiratory system (ARI, bronchitis, pneumonia), as well as pathologies of infants’ fetal development (perinatal infections, birth defects, etc.).

When should you visit a pediatrician?

First of all, it is important to visit a pediatrician regularly for preventive purposes: in the first year of life monthly, in the second year – twice a year, then – once a year. This should not be neglected, as it is about caring for the child's health, reducing the risk of chronic diseases developing and timely detection of possible pathologies.
