Pediatric Endocrinology
The treatment of endocrine gland diseases in children is known as pediatric endocrinology. Children with endocrine disorders, unlike adults, require specialized care from pediatric endocrinologists since their problems vary from physical and sexual development to diabetes and other hormonal and metabolic diseases.
Pediatric Neurology
A child neurologist, often known as a pediatric neurologist, is a specialist who specializes in treating children with nervous system disorders. The brain, spine, nerves, or muscles can all be the source of nervous system problems. Seizures, migraines, and developmental delays are all possible outcomes.

Useful info and health tips
Signs of Dehydration for Baby
If your baby is vomiting (not just spitting up small amounts of milk) or has diarrhea, you should watch carefully for these signs that he might be dehydrated:
- Fewer than six wet diapers in a day
- Dry mouth and eyes (no tears when she cries)
- Skin seems dry and slack (doesn’t bounce back when gently pressed)
- Either fussiness or lethargy
- Sunken eyes
- Sunken soft spots on her head
- Cold and/or splotchy-looking hands and feet
An asthma tip: Keep a clean house
Almost every asthmatic child has a strong reaction to dust, and simply keeping household dust to a minimum can immediately improve your child’s asthma. While keeping your house clean, it is also worth considering removing anything that can easily collect dust – carpet is much harder to keep dust-free than floorboards or tiles; piles of soft toys and knick-knacks are great dust collectors; seasonal clothing (jumpers, scarves, jackets) can become very dusty in the off-season. Using a quality vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter will help, as will ensuring all family members take their shoes off at the front door to leave dust and dirt outside where they belong. Dusting regularly with microfiber cloths which you throw in the washing machine is probably a better idea than spraying plenty of cleaning products around the house and adding to the respiratory loads inside the house.
