What does a pediatrician do?

General practitioner of the child, the pediatrician watches over his health, the good progress of his growth and his development, physical and mental. He is a privileged interlocutor of parents and advises them on nutrition, sleep, and hygiene and accident prevention. It is also responsible for the early detection of certain diseases and the monitoring of vaccination. If the child exhibits symptoms of illness, he asks if possible about his condition, conducts a clinical examination, and prescribes additional tests (blood tests, urine, ultrasound, etc.), to determine the treatment adapted to the clinical context and its age.

If possible, the pediatric surgeon establishes a relationship of trust with his young patient as well as with his parents: the impact of anxieties, fears, loss of bearings, pain, etc. on infantile conditions is proven.
