Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Sharma:
- 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 to young adulthood, focusing on their physical, emotional, and social health. While family medicine doctors can treat children, pediatricians dedicate their entire training and practice to the unique needs of 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 your child's growth and development, ensuring they receive necessary immunizations, and performing important screenings. They also provide a valuable opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have about nutrition, sleep, safety, or behavior.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Yes, Dr. Sharma can help. Pediatricians are trained to assess a child's behavioral and mental health. We can provide an initial evaluation for conditions like ADHD, offer strategies to parents, and refer to specialists for further testing and support if 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 we do. Dr. Sharma 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. Sharma manages chronic conditions like asthma and food allergies by creating a personalized action plan. This plan 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.
- 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. Dr. Sharma can examine your baby to rule out any underlying medical issues, 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 not needed for every cold or cough. Antibiotics only work against bacterial infections, not viral ones like the common cold. Overuse of antibiotics can be harmful. Dr. Sharma will carefully evaluate your child to determine if an antibiotic is necessary and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
- 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 where additional support might be beneficial.
