Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Boren:
- 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 their physical, emotional, and social well-being. While family medicine doctors can treat children, pediatricians dedicate their entire training to this specific population, resulting in extensive experience with childhood illnesses and developmental stages.
- Why are well-child visits important even if my child isn't sick?
- Well-child visits are crucial for preventative care, tracking development, and administering immunizations. They also allow for important screenings and provide a valuable opportunity to discuss any concerns about nutrition, sleep, safety, or behavior.
- 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 harm your child's health. Dr. Boren will carefully evaluate your child to determine if an antibiotic is needed 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 a pediatrician does. Dr. Boren 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.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Yes, Dr. Boren can help. Pediatricians are trained to evaluate a child's behavioral and mental health. They can provide an initial assessment for conditions like ADHD, offer parenting strategies, and refer to specialists for further support if 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. These are very common concerns, and Dr. Boren can examine your baby to rule out any other medical issues. She can also 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 extra support might be beneficial.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Boren creates a personalized action plan for managing chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies, which includes daily medication management, prescription of emergency medications, and education on avoiding triggers.
