Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Wilson:
- What is the difference between a Pediatrician and a Family Medicine doctor for my child?
- Pediatricians are specialists trained exclusively to care for children from birth through young adulthood, focusing on their unique physical, emotional, and social needs. While family medicine doctors can treat children, pediatricians dedicate their entire practice to children, providing deep 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 vaccinations are up-to-date, and performing necessary screenings. They also provide a valuable opportunity to discuss important topics like nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior with Dr. Wilson.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Yes, pediatricians can help with behavioral issues like ADHD and tantrums. We are trained to evaluate a child's overall health, including their behavioral and mental health. We can provide an initial assessment, offer parenting strategies, and refer to specialists for further evaluation and support if needed.
- Does my child need an antibiotic every time they have a cold or a cough?
- Antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections, not viral infections like colds and coughs. Overuse of antibiotics can be harmful. Dr. Wilson will carefully evaluate your child to determine if an antibiotic is necessary and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
- My child gets ear infections frequently. Is this something you handle?
- Yes, diagnosing and treating ear infections is one of the most common things we do. Dr. Wilson 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.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Wilson 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 coordinates care with specialists like 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.
- 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. Dr. Wilson 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.
