Paediatrics is a branch of medicine that specializes in the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents, typically from birth up to 18 years of age. It focuses on the physical, emotional, and developmental health of children, ensuring they grow and thrive in a healthy manner. Paediatricians diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including common childhood illnesses, infections, allergies, developmental disorders, and congenital diseases. They also play a key role in preventive care, such as administering vaccinations, monitoring growth milestones, and offering guidance on nutrition and safety. Paediatrics combines medical expertise with a compassionate approach, as treating young patients often involves close communication with families and caregivers to support a child’s overall well-being.
