A general pediatric check-up

A general pediatric check-up involves assessing the child's health through various stages of development, from infancy to adolescence. During the check-up, the pediatrician conducts a thorough physical examination, monitors the child’s growth and development, and evaluates their health based on symptoms or any concerns from the parents.

Common components of a general pediatric check-up include:

• Measuring height, weight, and head circumference (in younger children)
• Assessing neurological and psychomotor development
• Checking vital functions (heart, lungs, blood pressure)
• Examining vision, hearing, and the overall condition of the skin
• Providing advice on nutrition, vaccination, and general health
• Diagnosing and recommending therapies or further tests if necessary.

Regular check-ups help in the early detection of health issues, monitor the child’s development, and provide an opportunity for parents to receive guidance.
