What problems should you see a paediatrician about?
A paediatrician is a child's first point of contact with a doctor. Parents should always consult a paediatrician when they have concerns about their child's health, development or behaviour.
The most common reasons for visiting a paediatrician:
- Infections and childhood illnesses – colds, flu, sore throat, tonsillitis, cough, runny nose, fever.
- Ear, nose and throat problems – ear infections, frequent respiratory tract infections, snoring.
- Rashes and skin diseases – skin allergies, atopic dermatitis, infantile acne, erythema.
- Digestive problems – abdominal pain, flatulence, colic, diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting.
- Allergies and asthma – diagnosis and management of children with food allergies, inhalant allergies or atopy.
- Nutrition and development problems – lack of appetite, underweight, overweight, developmental delays.
- Vaccinations – mandatory and additional, as well as consultations and pre-vaccination assessment.
- Chronic diseases – monitoring children with diabetes, asthma, heart defects or other conditions requiring constant care.
- Disturbing symptoms – excessive sleepiness, apathy, unusual behaviour, breathing difficulties, earaches or sudden deterioration in health.
A paediatrician is also someone you can turn to with questions about your child's development, diet or daily care. It is better to seek consultation even for seemingly minor symptoms than to risk the condition developing into a more serious illness.

Good paediatrician atributes
Young patients are usually more demanding and at the same time don’t communicate as well as adults. That’s why paediatrician is a specialist who not only has an extensive knowledge and experience but also the right approach. They should know how to talk to children, must be patient and calm. They also have to be helpful and understanding towards the little patients and their parents. Good paediatrician will listen, examine, and implement a treatment or will reassure the parents.
