Children’s Health FAQ’s
It’s recommended to schedule your child’s first visit within the first few weeks after birth. This initial visit is essential for a general health assessment, growth monitoring, and discussing feeding and care.
Regular visits are crucial for tracking your child’s growth and development. These visits are typically scheduled at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 months of age, and annually after that.
Common vaccines include those for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, hepatitis, and the flu.
Consult your doctor for a recommended vaccine schedule.
Offer a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and dairy products. Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and encourage regular meals and hydration. Aim to avoid exposure to unhealthy food for as long as possible.
If your child shows sudden changes in behaviour, mood swings, excessive fears, difficulties in school, or withdrawal from friends and activities, it might indicate a need for behavioural or mental health evaluation.
If your child has a chronic condition, it’s essential to work closely with medical professionals to manage it. Opt for a thorough diagnosis and develop an action plan for emergencies, follow medication schedules, and avoid triggers that worsen symptoms.
