Pediatrics focuses on the healthcare of infants, children, and adolescents, addressing their unique physical, emotional, and developmental needs. This medical specialty includes preventive care, diagnosis, and treatment of childhood illnesses and chronic conditions. Pediatricians monitor growth milestones, provide vaccinations, and offer guidance on nutrition, behavior, and mental health. Developmental screenings help identify conditions such as ADHD and autism early, allowing for timely intervention. As children transition into adolescence, pediatric care includes education on puberty, mental wellness, and healthy lifestyle choices. With a focus on prevention and early detection, pediatrics ensures that children receive the right care at the right time for optimal health and development.
