Paediatricians in India
A paediatrician treats the health of newborns, children and teenagers, including fever, cough and cold, vaccination, and growth and feeding problems.
Seeing a paediatrician
Child-centred care for babies, children and young people, with space for family questions.
When not to wait
A baby or child who stops breathing, cannot be woken, or has blue or grey skin needs emergency medical help immediately. Do not wait for a routine consultation.[3]
What this professional does
Paediatricians assess health and illness in babies, children and young people. They consider the child as a whole and can coordinate care with other professionals when needs cross several areas.[1]
Concerns within their scope
Their scope includes childhood illness, ongoing health conditions and concerns about growth or development. Some work in a particular child-health specialty. Ask about the clinic's age range and services before choosing a visit.[1]
When a routine consultation may help
A planned visit may help with a continuing concern or an agreed review of your child's health. Bring the child's own questions too. A child who seems seriously unwell needs urgent help, even if a routine appointment is already booked.[1]
What to expect at a visit
The clinician gathers information from the child and family, assesses the child and discusses whether further investigation or support is needed. Assessment should take account of the child's age and communication needs.[1]
Prepare for your consultation
Bring relevant child-health records, earlier reports and a list of medicines. Note changes in feeding, activity or the concern you want assessed. Ask how to explain the plan to your child and who will coordinate follow-up.[2]
Questions you may have
Can my child take part in the discussion?
Yes. Child-centred care includes listening to children and young people in a way suited to their age and needs.[1]
Does every paediatrician see every age?
Clinic age limits and specialist services differ. Confirm them before booking rather than relying on the category label alone.[1]
