What diseases does a pediatrician encounter?

Answer 1

Pediatricians see all kinds of diseases, although a large portion of most pediatricians' days is spent seeing healthy babies and kids as regular check-ups, sports physicals, and so on. Many of the people who come in who are sick have viral illnesses (like the common cold) or infections such as strep throat. Other kids come in with skin problems (such as acne), breathing difficulties (like Asthma), or stomach problems. They also see more serious diseases that require sending the kids to specialists, such as heart problems or cancer. Basically, if a disease is out there and a kid has it, a pediatrician (or family physician who sees kids as well) will see it one time or another. Hope this helps!
