Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Shyung:
- 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 to young adulthood, providing comprehensive care for their physical, emotional, and social well-being. While family medicine doctors can treat children, pediatricians dedicate their entire training to this age group, resulting in specialized knowledge of childhood illnesses and developmental stages.
- Why are well-child visits important even if my child isn't sick?
- Well-child visits are essential for preventive care, tracking growth and development, and administering crucial immunizations. They also provide opportunities to screen for potential health issues and for parents to discuss important topics like nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior.
- 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 how a child is progressing in language, movement, thinking, and social skills. This helps us celebrate milestones and identify any areas where extra support might be beneficial.
- 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. Shyung 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.
- My baby seems to be crying all the time. Can you help with issues like colic or reflux?
- We understand how distressing it can be when a baby cries frequently. Dr. Shyung can examine your baby to rule out any underlying medical concerns, offer soothing strategies, and discuss potential dietary changes or medications to help manage colic or reflux.
- 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 infections like colds and coughs. Overuse of antibiotics can be harmful. Dr. Shyung will carefully evaluate your child to determine if an antibiotic is needed and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Shyung works with families to create a personalized action plan for managing chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies. This includes managing daily medications, providing prescriptions for emergency medications, and educating the family on avoiding triggers. She also coordinates care with specialists like allergists or pulmonologists as needed.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Yes, Dr. Shyung can help. Pediatricians are trained to evaluate a child's overall health, including behavioral and mental health. They can perform an initial assessment for conditions like ADHD, offer strategies for parents, and refer to specialists for further evaluation and support, if needed.
