A Pediatrician (child specialist) is a doctor who looks after the health of newborns, babies, children and adolescents up to about 18 years. In Bangladesh, parents most often bring children to a Pediatrician for fever, cough and cold, pneumonia and breathing difficulty, diarrhoea and dehydration, typhoid, dengue, asthma, worm infestation, skin rashes, poor weight gain and feeding or growth concerns. Pediatricians also give and advise on the EPI vaccination schedule and manage newborn problems such as jaundice and low birth weight. In a typical consultation the doctor asks about the child's symptoms, feeding, birth history and immunisation, checks weight, height, temperature and chest, and examines the child gently. They may order simple tests like a blood count, CBC, widal or chest X-ray, then explain the diagnosis and write a prescription with correct weight-based doses. You should see a Pediatrician whenever a child has a high or persistent fever, fast or difficult breathing, repeated vomiting or diarrhoea, fits, refusal to feed, or is not growing or developing as expected, and for routine vaccination and growth check-ups.
