Book AppointmentPediatric FAQs
When should I schedule my baby's first check-up?
The first pediatric visit is typically scheduled within 3 to 5 days after birth. This allows our pediatrician to check your baby's weight, feeding habits, and check for conditions like jaundice.
Do you provide all routine childhood vaccinations?
Yes, we provide all mandatory and recommended vaccinations according to the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) immunization schedule, ensuring your child is protected against preventable diseases.
How do I know if my child's fever requires a doctor's visit?
You should see a doctor if your child is under 3 months old with any fever, if a fever lasts more than 3 days in an older child, or if the fever is accompanied by symptoms like severe headache, stiff neck, persistent vomiting, or difficulty breathing.
What happens during a growth and development assessment?
During a well-child visit, our pediatrician will measure your child's height, weight, and head circumference, and plot them on a growth chart. We also assess developmental milestones (motor skills, speech, social skills) appropriate for their age.
