Pediatrician Answers Your Child Health Concerns
Information on Child health strategies is desired by all of us. Both as children and parents, we face a lot of questions on the path of child’s growth and development. I do not yet know parents who are totally satisfied with their child’s health. The worry starts from fetal growth onwards.
Naturally so! There are so many facets to child health. This not only makes it an interesting subject, but also a nagging cause for concern. At every turn there are disorders to worry about! Is my baby normal? How much should the child weigh? When will the child learn to walk and talk? How can I monitor my child's developmental milestones?
As a paediatrician by profession for more than 30 years, I have often sensed this anxiety in my patients. I have always tried to clear their doubts, but yet more was needed. I wanted to reach you all. So here I am with children's health issues explained in an easy to understand format.
In this era of new advances towards old problems like autism, sudden infant death syndrome, fetal growth evaluation, genetic disorders screening, and hormones' effect on health, it is only natural that the mothers would like to read a little more on the subject.
To add to the parents’ anxiety there is yet more - food and nutrition, infections, immunizations, learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactive disorder and so on. The list is endless!
Health is the most precious possession. Nothing is more devastating than a sickness in the family, when all else, money, fame, a beach holiday etc, lose their value.
It gets frustrating for children with chronic diseases like Diabetes, Hypothyroidism, Epilepsy and Asthma, where medical science cannot offer a cure.
Why do pediatricians not have an answer to my child’s sickness? - And the compliance is lost. This is harmful for the child’s health. I hope the explanations here will help.
There are yet other things that affect our children's health, such as maternal diseases and medications affect the baby during the fetal and the newborn phase, food allergies and recurrent infections in infancy, eating disorders in preteen and teenage group, and child abuse. Most of these are preventable with right awareness.
Yes, my effort here is to create a dedicated child health site, and share my professional experiences and knowledge with you all. The site explains a lot of common health problems in children in an easy to understand format.
In spite of my sincere desire and genuine efforts, it is yet not a complete guide on children's health problems. Certainly there will be a lot more questions.
Post your questions, participate in forums and have a consultation on any of your concerns on child health. Your suggestions are most welcome.
Let us together work towards a more comprehensive coverage on children's health, so that more and more children benefit from this "child health explanation" site.
