Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Lozano:
- 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 physical, emotional, and social well-being. While family medicine doctors can treat children, a pediatrician's dedicated training gives them 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 provide a vital opportunity to discuss nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior with Dr. Lozano. These visits help prevent future health problems and promote healthy development.
- 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. Lozano 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. Lozano creates a personalized action plan to manage 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 with specialists like allergists or pulmonologists as needed.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Dr. Lozano and our practice are happy to help with behavioral issues. Pediatricians are trained to evaluate a child's overall health, including behavioral and mental health, and can provide an initial assessment for conditions like ADHD. We can offer parenting strategies and referrals to child psychologists or developmental specialists for further testing and 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, and Dr. Lozano can examine your baby to rule out any other 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.
- 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 additional support might be beneficial.
- 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. Overusing antibiotics can harm your child's health. Dr. Lozano will carefully evaluate your child to determine if an antibiotic is necessary and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
