Nebulization

Because you have asthma, COPD, or another lung disease, your health care provider has prescribed medicine that you need to take using a nebulizer. A nebulizer is a small machine that turns liquid medicine into a mist. You sit with the machine and breathe in through a connected mouthpiece. Medicine goes into your lungs as you take slow, deep breaths for 10 to 15 minutes. It is easy and pleasant to breathe the medicine into your lungs this way.

If you have asthma, you may not need to use a nebulizer. You may use an inhaler instead, which is usually just as effective. But a nebulizer can deliver medicine with less effort than an inhaler. You and your provider can decide if a nebulizer is the best way to get the medicine you need. The choice of device may be based on whether you find a nebulizer easier to use and what type of medicine you take.

Vaccination Services

Vaccinations are also called vaccines, immunizations, needles, or shots.Vaccinations work by boosting the immune system’s ability to fight certain infections. The vaccination teaches your child’s immune system to recognize and fight specific germs so that when they are exposed to them, he or she has a much lower risk of getting sick.Vaccinations can help protect your child from serious diseases caused by germs.Some of the baby vaccinations found on the list were not part of routine immunization before. It is also important to note that some of the baby vaccinations should and can only be given to healthy infants. In case there is a risk factor involved, it is better to talk to your doctor about the baby vaccinations schedules.

Vaccinations are given by injections (needles), usually into the child’s upper arm or leg. Some vaccines for children need a series of doses (usually 2 to 4 doses) to reach their full effectiveness.

Pediatric Cardiology & 2D Echo

An echocardiogram is a test that uses sound waves (ultrasound) to create images of the heart. A Doppler test uses sound waves to measure the speed and direction of blood flow. By combining these tests, a pediatric cardiologist gets useful information about the heart’s anatomy and function. Echocardiography is the most common test used in children to diagnose or rule out heart disease and also to follow children who have already been diagnosed with a heart problem. This test can be performed on children of all ages and sizes including fetuses and newborns.

Echocardiography diagnoses cardiac problems, and also guides heart surgery and complex cardiac catheterizations. Children’s developed one of the first digital echocardiography laboratories in the world and remains a leader in the development of new technologies to optimize patient care

Newborn Care

Taking a newborn care class during pregnancy can prepare caregivers for the real thing. But feeding and diapering a baby doll isn’t quite the same. During the stay in a hospital or birthing center, clinicians and nurses help with basic baby care. These health providers will demonstrate basic infant care. Newborn care basics include:

• Handling a newborn, including supporting the baby’s neck
• Changing diapers
• Bathing
• Dressing
• Swaddling
• Feeding and burping

Growth Monitoring

Every child grows and develops differently, doing things at their own pace. Children generally reach certain milestones in their life at roughly the same time, so we’ve got several pages that describe each of the major age milestones, and what usually happens at that time. Understanding these gives you the chance to help your child develop new skills and reach their full potential.

The early years of a child’s life are very important for his or her health and development. Healthy development means that children of all abilities, including those with special health care needs, are able to grow up where their social, emotional and educational needs are met. Having a safe and loving home and spending time with family―playing, singing, reading, and talking―are very important. Proper nutrition, exercise, and sleep also can make a big difference.

Parent Counseling

Parenting counseling is a type of service that aims to provide the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and most especially support to parents without bias or judgment. This way, they become more fully equipped to take care of their children.Although becoming a parent is rewarding, it is also challenging. The responsibilities that parents must fulfill are huge. They are required to:

• Raise good children who can contribute to the society
• Provide a home that is loving, supportive, and caring
• Meet all the needs of their children such as a home, education, food, healthcare, and education
• Take care of their respective spouses
• Support the community they are in to create a safe and productive place for their families
• Give their families a comfortable life

Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric Dentistry deals with the dental and oral needs of children from birth to adolescence. As the child grows from infant to pre-schooler to teens, the dental needs change accordingly. Our board-certified pediatric dentist is a member of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, monitors the orofacial growth and prevention of oral diseases in your children during several stages of their teeth development.

The Pediatric dentist understands the dental needs of your child at different stages of growth and development. Poor oral health can affect the child’s quality of life. “Every child has a fundamental right to his / her total oral health and we as pediatric dentists must fulfill this faith.”

Pediatric Surgery

“Child is not a small Adult” and, therefore, require expertise that can cater to their needs. Babies suffer from different problems, their physiology is different, they handle stress differently, and the principles of treatment are entirely different from adults.

Pediatric & Neonatal surgery is the field of medicine that deals with the surgical care of new-born babies, infants, and children to the age of 18 years. This branch is highly specialized not only because one has to handle very delicate and miniature tissues, but also it requires a great deal of patience, compassion and understanding to handle the little babies and their very anxious parents.
