Calling the pediatrician at home

The doctor's help provided in time gives you a chance not to earn serious consequences associated with the development of the current illness. Unfortunately, children are more prone to such complications. Nowadays practically all medical institutions have an opportunity for patients to call a doctor at home. And calling a qualified specialist, pediatrician, is the most frequent challenge.

Pediatrician's help

In the period of unstable weather( transition from season to season, variability of temperature and humidity), almost all children are at risk, that is, the possibility of contact with the virus. And if there is a child's illness, any parent will prefer to call the doctor home, than to exhaust the child with long trips to the hospital. After all, first of all, it is safe for the baby.

Unfortunately, some parents rely on traditional medicine and generally accepted advice, thus delaying the doctor's call to the house until the last. More often it can be explained by the reluctance of parents to engage in a dialogue with doctors who behave unethically and boorishly. It must be remembered that the doctor does not have one patient and patronage a day. If a child has a temperature of up to 37.5 and there is an opportunity to quickly reach the polyclinic himself, then it is better to take this opportunity.

The pediatrician is, first of all, a universal medical worker, who is obliged to have a large amount of knowledge, starting from the knowledge of all the norms of physiology in newborns and ending with illnesses in adolescence. Such doctors should know everything and be able to tell and advise the mother in matters, up to the composition of the baby's day regimen or the choice of nutrition for both mother and child. Nowadays, some areas of medical services have changed. If your child is sick for a long time and often, the pediatrician must come to your home to make sure that the treatment prescribed by him helps and find out if there are any complications. To date, the practice of patronage over the newborn is very widely practiced. Calling the pediatrician home brings unequivocal benefits, because judging by the statistics, not all young parents can adequately respond to the external manifestation of the disease or the development of normal physiology in the newborn. An example is the normal development of jaundice in newborns, changes in skin color, changes in body temperature, and so on. It is for this, the next day after the discharge and the arrival of the puerpera home, the pediatrician comes home to get acquainted with the new patient. At the moment of the first dialogue the doctor answers all questions of mum, gives any advice and tells about correct care of the newborn.

Need to call pediatrician

Almost in all hospitals, patients are admitted by a doctor at a specific time. Not all health facilities have the opportunity to take patients by appointment. Because of this absence, often a significant queue is formed, which can not withstand each patient. Therefore, if you need to visit the hospital or see a doctor, it is better to call him at home. For today, almost any specialist can be called to the house. Departure to the doctor's home is a common practice, especially when the patient has a severe or chronic illness. The pediatrician should always go to the newborn to see the house. Also, almost always for the baby a big role is played by the psychological factor. The child feels at home much more confidently, calmer and thus helps to give the doctor a normal quiet examination. In a clinic, a pediatrician does not always manage to hold it exactly like that. Also, not being on the street and in places of a large congestion of people, the risk of contracting a concomitant disease simply disappears.

A doctor's call will cost you free if your child is registered with a local health center. In some cases, parents, of course, can apply to private clinics. Naturally, the call will not be free, but your baby will be treated with great care, they will pay as much time as possible and doctors always have the possibility of prompt service.
