Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Paniagua:
- 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, including their physical, emotional, and social well-being. While family medicine doctors can treat children, a pediatrician's training and practice are entirely dedicated to kids, 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 essential for preventing illness, monitoring growth and development, and scheduling immunizations. They also provide a critical opportunity to discuss important topics like nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior with Dr. Paniagua. These visits help ensure your child's healthy development and well-being.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Paniagua creates a personalized action plan for managing chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies, including daily medication management, prescription of emergency medications, and education on avoiding triggers. She also coordinates care with specialists, such as allergists or pulmonologists, as needed.
- 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. Paniagua 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 viruses like colds or coughs. Overuse of antibiotics can be harmful. Dr. Paniagua will carefully evaluate your child to determine if an antibiotic is needed and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Dr. Paniagua and our practice are the first point of contact for concerns about a child's behavior. Pediatricians are trained to evaluate a child's behavioral and mental health and can provide an initial assessment for conditions like ADHD. We can also offer parenting strategies and make referrals to child psychologists or developmental specialists for further testing and support, if 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 how a child is progressing in areas like language, movement, thinking, and social skills. This helps us celebrate milestones and identify any areas where extra support might be beneficial.
- 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. Paniagua can examine your baby to rule out other medical issues, provide strategies to soothe the infant, and discuss potential dietary changes or medications to help manage conditions like colic or reflux.
