Treatments

Specialised care and treatments offered

NEONATAL JAUNDICE

Neonatal Jaundice

The appearance of yellowish skin and eyes shortly after birth is known as neonatal jaundice. It results from elevated bilirubin levels due to immature liver function in newborns.

GASTROENTERITIS IN CHILDREN

Gastroenteritis in Children

Gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the stomach and intestines commonly seen in children worldwide. It leads to vomiting and diarrhea that can result in dehydration if untreated.

  • Causes: Primarily viral agents like rotavirus cause most pediatric cases though bacteria can also be responsible.
  • Symptoms: Include frequent loose stools, vomiting episodes, abdominal cramps accompanied by low-grade fever.
  • Diagnosis: Mostly clinical based on history including exposure risks; stool tests reserved for severe or persistent cases.
  • Treatment: Emphasis lies on preventing dehydration through oral rehydration solutions along with continuing feeding; antiemetics may be used selectively.
  • Expected outcome: Most children recover fully within several days without needing hospitalization provided adequate fluid intake.

    • Pediatric gastroenteritis requires attentive supportive care ensuring hydration to avoid complications especially among younger infants.

    PEDIATRIC ASTHMA EXACERBATION

    Pediatric Asthma Exacerbation

    Pediatric asthma exacerbations arise when airway inflammation causes sudden worsening of symptoms like wheezing or shortness of breath. Prompt recognition is critical to prevent serious breathing difficulties.

    • Sings / symptoms: Increased coughing, wheezing audible without stethoscope, chest tightness sensation in older children plus difficulty speaking due to breathlessness.
    • Causative triggers: Viral infections, allergens such as dust mites or pollen, exercise-induced bronchospasm are common precipitants.
    • Differential diagnosis & diagnosis: Diagnosis confirmed via clinical assessment supported by peak expiratory flow rate measurements if possible; ruling out infections is important too.
    • Treatment measures: Immediate administration of short-acting beta-agonist inhalers combined with oral corticosteroids help resolve inflammation swiftly during attacks.

    The prognosis improves markedly with asthma action plans formulated alongside healthcare providers to manage future flare-ups effectively.

    ACUTE OTITIS MEDIA

    Acute Otitis Media

    A common pediatric infection affecting the middle ear, acute otitis media frequently occurs in young children. It often follows a cold or upper respiratory tract infection.

    • Syndrome features: Symptoms include ear pain, irritability, fever, difficulty sleeping, and sometimes fluid drainage from the ear.
    • Causative agents: Usually caused by bacterial pathogens like Streptococcus pneumoniae or Haemophilus influenzae after viral illness compromises ear defenses.
    • Diagnostic criteria: Identified through otoscopic examination showing redness and bulging of the tympanic membrane along with symptoms outlined above.
    • Treatment approach: Management includes analgesics for pain relief and antibiotics when indicated based on age, severity, and duration of symptoms.

    This condition commonly resolves within days but timely treatment helps prevent complications such as hearing loss or spread of infection into nearby structures.

    FEBRILE SEIZURES

    Febrile Seizures

    Febrile seizures are convulsions triggered by a sudden rise in body temperature during an illness in children between 6 months and 5 years. They are usually harmless but understandably alarming for caregivers.

    • Symptoms: These seizures involve brief episodes of shaking or twitching of limbs, loss of consciousness or staring spells associated with fever.
    • Causes: Most commonly linked to infections causing high fever such as viral illnesses or ear infections.
    • Diagnosis: Based on clinical history and physical exam; further tests only if atypical features or prolonged seizures occur.
    • Treatment: Usually no specific treatment needed aside from controlling the fever using antipyretics like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
    • Expectations: Children typically outgrow febrile seizures with low risk of epilepsy development; reassurance and education are vital for families.

    If your child experiences a febrile seizure, prompt evaluation ensures proper management and peace of mind.

    ACUTE BRONCHIOLITIS

    Acute Bronchiolitis

    Acute bronchiolitis is a common lung infection in infants and young children, often caused by viral infections. It primarily affects the small airways called bronchioles, leading to breathing difficulties.

    • Symptoms and causes: Typical signs include coughing, wheezing, rapid breathing, and sometimes fever; it is most often triggered by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
    • Diagnosis: Made clinically through medical history and physical examination; additional tests like pulse oximetry or chest X-rays may be done if needed.
    • Treatment options: Mainly supportive care including oxygen therapy, hydration, and nasal suctioning; antibiotics are not usually required unless secondary bacterial infection occurs.
    • Management: Close monitoring for worsening respiratory distress or dehydration is essential; hospitalisation may be necessary in severe cases.

    This condition generally improves with careful care over one to two weeks. Early recognition and management can help avoid complications.
