Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Leiloglou:
- What is the difference between a Pediatrician and a Family Medicine doctor for my child?
- Pediatricians are specialists who focus exclusively on the health of children from birth through young adulthood, encompassing their physical, emotional, and social well-being. While family medicine doctors can treat children, pediatricians dedicate their entire training to this age group, providing in-depth expertise in childhood illnesses and developmental stages.
- Why are well-child visits important even if my child isn't sick?
- Well-child visits are crucial for monitoring growth and development, ensuring scheduled immunizations, and performing necessary screenings. They also provide a vital opportunity to discuss important topics like nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior with Dr. Leiloglou.
- My child gets ear infections frequently. Is this something you handle?
- Yes. Diagnosing and treating ear infections is one of the most common things a pediatrician does. Dr. Leiloglou can determine the cause, prescribe antibiotics if necessary, and discuss strategies to reduce recurrence or determine if a referral to an ENT specialist is needed.
- Does my child need an antibiotic every time they have a cold or a cough?
- No, antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections, not viral ones like colds and coughs. Overuse of antibiotics can be harmful. Dr. Leiloglou will carefully evaluate your child's condition to determine if an antibiotic is necessary and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
- My baby seems to be crying all the time. Can you help with issues like colic or reflux?
- We understand how frustrating constant crying can be for new parents. These are very common concerns, and Dr. Leiloglou can examine your baby to rule out any underlying medical issues. She can provide strategies to soothe your infant and discuss potential dietary changes or medications to help manage conditions like colic or reflux.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Leiloglou creates a personalized action plan for managing chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies, including daily medication management and prescriptions for emergency medications. She educates families on avoiding triggers and coordinates care with specialists, such as allergists or pulmonologists, as needed.
- What is involved in a developmental screening?
- A developmental screening is a routine part of well-child visits. It involves simple questions and checklists to assess a child's progress in language, movement, thinking, and social skills. This helps us celebrate milestones and identify any areas needing extra support.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Yes, pediatricians are trained to evaluate a child's behavioral and mental health. We can provide an initial assessment for conditions like ADHD, offer parenting strategies, and make referrals to specialists for further support.
