GROWTH AND NUTRITION

Growth And Nutrition
Good nutrition is required for the proper growth and development of children. To obtain good nutrition it is highly essential to eat a healthy balanced diet. A balanced diet is one that has all the nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the right proportion. Children's need for nutrition and energy is greatly higher than other age groups. It is estimated that undernourished children have less energy and so it has a negative impact on their academic performance. The nutrients needed for growth and development are protein, calcium, vitamins, omega-3 fats, iodine, and Zinc. Good hair growth symbolizes good nutrition. The nutrients required for good hair growth are vitamin C, biotin, iron, and zinc. Foods that help you to maintain your height are lean meat, chicken, beans, almonds, eggs, and leafy green vegetables. Good nutrition during childhood helps the children develop immunity against infections, ensures the good development of the brain and other organs, and improves the child's cognitive functioning. Poor nutrition can lead to nutritional deficiencies which in turn leads to deficiency disorders and has a great impact on their growth and development.

INFANT CARE

Infant Care
The infant is a term that indicates the age group of 0 to 1 year. It is the time period during which there is Rapid growth in both mental and physical spheres. There are some basic essential needs that are common to all infants including warmth and affection, good nourishment, and prevention of infection. Newborn cord care is a very important thing to take care of. Always the stump should be kept dry and it is advisable to stick with a sponge bath rather than a wet bath. The newborn cord usually takes around two weeks to heal. A newborn is so delicate that the skin has to be given extra care. The baby's skin has to be kept hydrated by bathing them in warm water for three to five minutes. Application of good baby lotion or moisturizer after bath is very essential. Remember to always pt the skin dry rather than rubbing. Newborn care is essential to avoid infections and minimize the risk of illness since the immune system of the newborn is weak. Proper knowledge is essential before starting with newborn care and you can acquire this knowledge from our experienced physicians. We provide prenatally and post-natal counseling so that your journey is comfortable and stress-free.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Infectious Diseases
Infections are more common in children than in other age groups due to the weaker and developing immune systems in children. They are in close contact with other children in the classrooms, transport, and Day Care Centres. It is due to this reason that infections are more likely to occur in children than adults. The most common infectious diseases during childhood are common cold, ear infections, conjunctivitis, gastroenteritis, and diseases of the hand, foot, and mouth. Infections are caused by a wide range of microorganisms which may be bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Skin infections are more common in children since they are exposed to a lot of microorganisms in the ground and transmission from other children through touch. Since it is the period during which they learn toilet training habits, it is easier for them to acquire urinary tract(UTI) infections. The main cause of UTI infection in children is E Coli bacteria. The treatment includes the administration of antibiotics either orally or through IV. Depending upon the type of infection, antiviral and antifungal medications are also given. It is important to diagnose the infection at the earliest and provide appropriate treatment to avoid complications. Do remember that infections can be varied and timely diagnosis and care are of utmost importance.

VACCINATION AND CHECKUP

Vaccination And Checkup
Vaccination is the simple and safest way to protect ourselves from infections. Vaccination is the process of administering a vaccine that helps the immune system to acquire immunity against a specific disease or infection. Vaccines contain microorganisms either in the live or killed state, which when administered develop immunity. When a large number of people get vaccinated, it results in herd immunity. Vaccination is found to be greatly responsible for the eradication of smallpox, and for the elimination of tetanus and polio from most parts of the world. It is important to vaccinate your child in order to give them a healthy future. For the pediatric age group, there is a list of vaccines to be administered according to the schedule including BCG, MMR, and so on. It is essential that you do not skip your children’s vaccination as a primary prevention measure. Vaccinations keep us healthy from infectious microorganisms and thereby boost our immunity and hence greatly prevent them from future disabilities and infections.
