Nurture Your Child’s Well-Being with Comprehensive Children’s Healthcare Services in Lang Lang
Children are often the most vulnerable when it comes to health. With their immune system being developed, often falling sick can become routine for some kids. And while there is nothing to fear, visiting a general practitioner can ease your mind a great deal. We believe that if there’s something about your child’s health troubling you, it is best to trust your instincts and visit a practitioner to soothe your troubled mind.
At Lang Lang Doctors, our team of practitioners help diagnose your child’s illnesses, no matter how common or complex, and provide treatment measures. We aim to help and support you as parents to track and improve your child’s health through routine checks and helpful advice when concerns arise.
For newborns, one of the common problems most parents face is feeding and sleeping. Not every method works for all. Most parents need to try different methods of feeding and putting their newborns to sleep before settling into a pattern that works best for them. The development and progress of the newborns also differ from one another, making frequent follow-ups with the practitioner a necessity. We can help create a follow-up schedule for you wherein you can track your baby’s progress and concerns during the weeks until your appointment with us, allowing us to provide methods and solutions to address the concerns in a way that works for you and your baby.
Children’s Health Services at Lang Lang Doctors – Securing Your Child’s Well-Being
As your child develops, so does their immune system and resistance to illnesses. To help ensure their well-being through it all, immunisations and vaccinations become essential. Some of the common children’s health services in Lang Lang we provide for your child’s health and well-being include:
- Immunisation
- General childhood illnesses
- Vaccinations
- Routine wellness checks
- Developmental concerns
- Diabetes and asthma management
- Eczema treatment plan
- Mental health and well-being
While it is not commonly acknowledged, children are as prone to mental health conditions as adults. Sudden changes in their lives can result in behavioural changes that may need professional intervention. If they show signs of being withdrawn and not partaking in things and activities that they previously enjoyed, they may be struggling. A child counsellor can help gently intervene and address the crux of the issue.
Another thing to do as a parent is to understand and familiarise yourself with the symptoms of asthma and Type 1 diabetes in case it presents itself in your child.
Symptoms of asthma in a child
- Tightness or pain in the chest
- Difficulty in breathing
- Shortness of breath
- Wheezing while breathing
Symptoms of Type 1 diabetes
- Constant hunger
- Sudden loss of weight
- Extreme thirst
- Frequent urination
- Fatigue or lethargy
- Nausea or vomiting
- Blurriness of vision
If you notice any of these symptoms, it is crucial that you visit your child’s general practitioner at the earliest.
