When you should visit a child specialist

As a parent, it is natural to worry when your child has fever, cough or cold. While most small illnesses get better in 2-3 days, some symptoms need attention from a child specialist.

At Paartha Diagnostic Centre, E-21 Vijay Nagar, Dr. Vyom Aggarwal has been treating children for over 30 years. Here are 5 signs you should not ignore:

*1. Fever More Than 3 Days*

If fever is above 100.4°F and not coming down even after medicine, visit your pediatrician. It may be viral infection or typhoid.

*2. Breathing Difficulty or Continuous Cough*

Wheezing, fast breathing or cough that increases at night needs immediate checkup. Early treatment prevents asthma complications.

*3. Poor Weight Gain and Feeding Issues*

If your child is not gaining weight, refusing feed, or vomiting frequently, a growth assessment is needed.

*4. Delayed Milestones*

Not sitting, walking or speaking as per age should be evaluated by a specialist. Early speech therapy and guidance helps a lot.

*5. Frequent Infections*

If your child gets cold and cough every month, immunity checkup and vaccination review is important.

*What to bring for consultation?*

- Previous vaccination card

- Any recent blood test reports

- List of medicines given

We provide child consultation, vaccination, nebulization and lab tests under one roof, so you don't need to run elsewhere.

If your child has any of these symptoms, you can book appointment at our Vijay Nagar centre from 9 AM to 8 PM, Monday to Saturday.

Early checkup saves time, money and worry.
