When should my baby have their first check-up with a pediatrician?

Typically, a newborn should have their first check-up with a pediatrician within 2-3 days of leaving the hospital. Your pediatrician will also advise on future appointments as per the child's schedule.

What are the common signs of illness in a newborn?

Common signs of illness in a newborn include: fever (temperature above 100.4°F or 38°C rectally), difficulty breathing, poor feeding, lethargy or excessive sleepiness, irritability, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), and changes in bowel movements or urination.

What are the recommended vaccines for children and when should they receive them?

Recommended vaccines for children include protection against diseases like Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, rotavirus, chickenpox, pneumococcal disease, seasonal influenza, and others. The recommended schedule is provided by organizations such as the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) and is regularly updated.

What should I do if my child has a fever?

If your child has a fever, you can try to lower it with appropriate doses of acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin), as recommended by your pediatrician for child's age and weight. Encourage them to drink plenty of fluids and monitor their temperature. Consult your pediatrician if the fever is high (over 102°F or 39°C), persists for more than 24 hours, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms.
