Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Cohen:
- What is the difference between a Pediatrician and a Family Medicine doctor for my child?
- Pediatricians are specialists trained exclusively in the care of children from birth through young adulthood, focusing on their physical, emotional, and social health. While family medicine doctors can treat children, pediatricians dedicate their entire practice to this age group, offering 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 preventive care, tracking growth and development, administering immunizations, and performing important screenings. They also provide a valuable opportunity to discuss any concerns about nutrition, sleep, safety, or behavior with Dr. Cohen.
- 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 or coughs. Overusing antibiotics can lead to harmful side effects and antibiotic resistance. Dr. Cohen will carefully evaluate your child's condition to determine if an antibiotic is necessary and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Yes, Dr. Cohen can help. Pediatricians are trained to evaluate a child's behavioral and mental health. They can provide an initial assessment for conditions like ADHD and offer parenting strategies. If further testing or specialized support is needed, they can refer you to child psychologists or developmental specialists.
- 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 needing extra support.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Cohen 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, 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. Cohen 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 frustrating it can be when a baby cries frequently. These are very common concerns for new parents. Dr. Cohen can examine your baby to rule out any other medical issues, provide strategies to soothe the infant, and discuss potential dietary changes or medications to help manage conditions like colic or reflux.
