Child Specialist :
A child specialist or a paediatrician is a doctor who has the knowledge and skills to treat children. Child specialists can care for newborns, children and teenagers. These specialists can provide regular health checkups and diagnose illnesses in children. They also perform developmental screenings to assess the emotional, physical and cognitive development of children. Child specialists have the training to manage chronic illnesses and can also perform minor surgeries.

A paediatrician can also provide relief from symptoms like skin rashes, vomiting, ear pain, breathing problems and behavioural changes. The treatment provided by a paediatrician usually involves ointments, oral medicines, injections or drops.
