Pediatric and Neonatology
Pediatrics
Pediatrics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the medical care and treatment of infants and young children from birth till age 18. It includes paediatric treatment for all children with acute and chronic diseases to guarantee that they all receive the best growth and development possible.
A pediatrician is a doctor who cares for children. They offer preventative healthcare services for healthy kids as well as pediatric treatment for kids who are acutely or continuously unwell. Pediatricians are aware of all of the factors influencing children’s growth and development.
Neonatology
Neonatal infants, or more particularly infants younger than four weeks old, are referred to as neonates. Neonatology is a subspecialty of pediatrics that focuses on the treatment of newborn children, particularly those who are seriously ill or delivered prematurely. The majority of infant health issues may be resolved by a pediatrician; however, a neonatologist is specially educated to treat the most difficult and life-threatening circumstances.
What is the Difference between
Pediatrics and Neonatology?
The level of specialization makes the difference between a pediatrician and a neonatologist. A pediatrician, like a general practitioner, can handle children from infancy to puberty and provide pediatric treatment for everything, from ear infections to broken bones. On the contrary, neonatologists usually treat infants from birth to one year of age. They are only concerned with the health of infants and high-risk health situations that might impact their survival and growth.
What Conditions do Pediatricians Treat?
Pediatricians are crucial to the health and well-being of children. Pediatricians often carry out the following pediatric treatment procedures:
- Physical Checkup and screenings
- Assessing the social, emotional, and physical growth of a kid
- Administering vaccines
- Find the cause of the child's illnesses and other health issues
- Providing pediatric treatment for injuries, including fractures and dislocations
- Recommending medicines, such as antibiotics and painkillers
- Will inform parents of the requirements for the child's health, food, and exercise.
- Identifying and addressing a range of medical issues
- Providing information about health and wellness to parents, caretakers, and patients.
- If necessary, referring families to other pediatric experts.
What Conditions do Neonatologists treat?
The majority of neonatologists’ work is done in hospitals’ neonatal intensive care units or special care nurseries. A neonatologist may occasionally give short-term follow-up treatment on an outpatient basis after a newborn has been released from the unit. In the Department of Paediatrics and Neonatology, both doctors, Pediatricians, and neonatologists, work together to coordinate treatment.
The following sorts of treatments are offered by experts in neonatology:
- Finding and treating infants with infections, respiratory conditions, and birth abnormalities.
- Coordination of the care and medical treatment of preterm newborns who may be suffering from a serious illness or require surgery.
- Ensuring that all neonates who are in critical condition receive appropriate nutrition in order to be able to recover and grow normally.
- Taking care of newborns born by cesarean section, as well as deliveries that might be problematic for the mother or the infant or that could have an impact on the infant's health and call for delivery room intervention.
- Treat and stabilize infants who have any medical condition.
- Obtain advice from obstetricians, pediatricians, and family doctors on problems affecting newborns.
