Childhood is a period typified by change, both in the child and in the immediate environment. Changes in the child related to growth and development are so striking that it is almost as if the child were a series of distinct yet related individuals passing through infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Changes in the environment occur as the surroundings and contacts of a totally dependent infant become those of a progressively more independent child and adolescent. Health and disease during the period from conception to adolescence must be understood against this backdrop of changes.
Childhood vaccines protect children from a variety of serious or potentially fatal diseases, including diphtheria, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, tetanus, whooping cough (pertussis) and others. If these diseases seem uncommon or even unheard of it’s usually because these vaccines are doing their job. The diseases that childhood vaccines are meant to prevent are most likely to occur when a child is very young and the risk of complications is greatest. That makes early vaccination sometimes beginning shortly after birth essential. If you postpone vaccines until a child is older, it might be too late.
Nutrition for kids is based on the same ideas as nutrition for adults. Everyone needs the same types of things, such as vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein and fat. These are called nutrients. Children need different amounts of specific nutrients at different ages. The best eating pattern for a child’s growth and development considers the child’s age, activity level and other characteristics. Check out these nutrition basics for kids, based on the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Food packed with nutrients with no or limited sugar, saturated fat, or salt added to it is considered nutrient dense. Focusing on nutrient-dense foods helps kids get the nutrients they need while limiting overall calories.
Understanding your child’s changing growth and development milestones is an important part of parenting. As infants and children progress through a series of growth stages, they may encounter common physical or emotional challenges. The pediatric experts at CHOC created a series of guides by age and stage, so you can better understand what your child is going through and spot any issues along the way. Growth and development includes not only the physical changes that occur from infancy to adolescence, but also some of the changes in emotions, personality, behavior, thinking and speech that children develop as they begin to understand and interact with the world around them. Skills such as taking a first step or smiling for the first time are called developmental milestones.
In childhood asthma, the lungs and airways become easily inflamed when exposed to certain triggers, such as inhaling pollen or catching a cold or other respiratory infection. Childhood asthma can cause bothersome daily symptoms that interfere with play, sports, school and sleep. In some children, unmanaged asthma can cause dangerous asthma attacks. Childhood asthma isn’t a different disease from asthma in adults, but children face unique challenges. The condition is a leading cause of emergency department visits, hospitalizations and missed school days. Unfortunately, childhood asthma can’t be cured, and symptoms can continue into adulthood. But with the right treatment, you and your child can keep symptoms under control and prevent damage to growing lungs.
Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are a group of tests that measure how well the lungs are working. In children, PFTs are used to diagnose and monitor various lung conditions, such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Here are the common types of PFTs performed on kids: Spirometry, Lung volume tests, Diffusion capacity, Nitrogen washout test, Exercise challenge test.
The results of PFTs can help healthcare providers determine the severity of a child’s lung condition, track its progression, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. PFTs are generally considered safe for children and are performed using noninvasive methods.
Dermatology is the branch of medicine that deals with the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. In children, dermatology is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions that are unique to this age group, as well as conditions that occur in both children and adults.
Some common skin conditions seen in children include, Warts, Acne, Infections, Insect bites, Psoriasis.
Treatment for children’s skin conditions may involve medications, topical creams, or light therapy, and is tailored to the individual child and the specific condition. A pediatric dermatologist or a pediatrician with special training in dermatology can provide appropriate care and management for children with skin problems.
