Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
HAND-FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE (HFMD)
This contagious viral illness commonly affects infants and children under 5 years old. It is characterized by sores in the mouth accompanied by a rash on hands and feet which typically resolves within days without serious problems./
CELIAC DISEASE
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten ingestion in genetically predisposed children. It affects nutrient absorption due to intestinal damage caused by gluten sensitivity.
CHICKENPOX (VARICELLA)
A highly contagious viral illness common among young children characterized by an itchy rash with blisters. Chickenpox usually resolves without serious issues but needs careful handling to prevent spread or complications.
- Symptoms and causes: Initial signs include fever and tiredness followed by red spots that develop into fluid-filled blisters over the body caused by varicella-zoster virus transmission through droplets or contact.
- Diagnosis:
NEONATAL JAUNDICE
This condition occurs when a newborn baby’s skin or eyes turn yellow due to elevated bilirubin levels. It is very common in the first few days after birth.
- Symptoms and causes: Yellow discoloration typically appears on the face first; caused by immature liver function leading to bilirubin buildup from red blood cell breakdown.
- Diagnosis: Physical examination along with measuring bilirubin levels via blood tests or transcutaneous devices helps confirm severity.
- Treatment options: Mild cases resolve through regular feeding promoting elimination; more severe cases require phototherapy using special lights to reduce bilirubin safely.
- What to expect: Most infants recover quickly without complications when treated promptly; untreated severe jaundice can cause neurological damage but this is rare with timely care.
A careful follow-up during the neonatal period helps ensure safe management of jaundice in newborns for healthy development.
ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects children’s behavior, attention span, and impulse control. Early identification is important for effective management.
- Symptoms and causes: Children with ADHD often exhibit inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsivity; genetics and environmental factors contribute to its development.
- Diagnosis: Based on detailed behavioral assessments over several months with input from parents and teachers; clinical evaluation rules out other causes.
- Treatment options: Includes behavioral therapy, structured routines, parent training programs, and sometimes medication under close supervision.
- What to expect: With appropriate interventions, children can improve focus and social interactions; ongoing support enhances long-term outcomes.
A tailored approach ensures that each child's unique challenges are addressed effectively for better daily functioning.
BRONCHIOLITIS
Bronchiolitis is a common respiratory infection primarily affecting infants and young children. It involves inflammation of the small airways in the lungs, causing breathing difficulties.
- Symptoms and causes: Often caused by viral infections like Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), symptoms include wheezing, coughing, rapid breathing, and sometimes mild fever.
- Diagnosis: Clinical examination is key; doctors listen for characteristic wheezing sounds and may use pulse oximetry to assess oxygen levels.
- Treatment options: Mostly supportive care including hydration, humidified air, nasal suctioning, and oxygen therapy if needed; antibiotics are not typically used as it's viral.
- What to expect: Symptoms usually peak within a few days but may last up to two weeks; most children recover fully without complications.
Close monitoring at home or under medical supervision ensures quick response if symptoms worsen. Bronchiolitis emphasizes gentle care and symptom management during recovery.
