A neonatologist consultation may be advisable if the baby is born before term (premature), if the newborn baby has infections, if the baby has breathing or feeding problems, if neonatal jaundice is present, if there is a delay in milestones, if the birth weight of the baby is less than 2.5Kgs, birth defects or other genetic conditions, etc. visit a neonatologist in Kolkata to know more about the schedule.
Some common subcategories in neonatology include:
On a first visit to a neonatologist near you, expect the physician to ask questions about the baby's health, symptoms, pregnancy and delivery-related questions, look at previous medical and birth records, perform a physical examination of the newborn or infant to look for signs of medical issues and advise investigations such as blood tests, imaging tests, etc. Based on the initial and confirmed diagnosis, a treatment plan will be advised.
Neonatologists possess specialized training and expertise in critical care and management of newborn infants, especially those with complicated or complex medical problems, while paediatricians provide services for the overall care of infants, children, and adolescents, including preventive care, general medical conditions, and overall child development.
Family centered care involves actively involving parents and family members in the care and decision-making process of a newborn, creating a nurturing and supportive environment for the baby's well-being.
The diagnostic tests performed by neonatologists can include physical examination of the newborn infant to assess the overall health along with signs of any underlying medical condition, electroencephalogram to assess neurological health, cardiac evaluation to assess heart function, hearing assessment, lumbar puncture, etc., and may advise investigations such as blood tests, imaging tests such as CT or MRI scans, etc.
A neonatologist's qualifications include an MBBS graduate degree followed by an MD in Pediatrics, a DNB in Pediatrics, or a Diploma in Child Health, further specialization such as DNB or DM in neonatology.
The cost of a consultation with a neonatologist in Kolkata can range between Rs.500 - Rs.1,000 or more depending on the experience and professional fees charged by the specialist, the location of practice and the hospital/clinic charges, etc.
