Paediatrics: your child's growth, watched over

What the paediatrician treats

Paediatrics looks after children's health from birth through adolescence: preventing, diagnosing and treating the conditions typical of each stage, and monitoring growth and development. At our paediatric clinic in Torre del Mar, care is private and without the usual waiting: quick appointments and enough time in the consultation to examine the child calmly and answer the family's questions. Besides acute illnesses, the paediatrician follows up on chronic childhood conditions and supports parents on prevention and healthy habits.

Common reasons for a consultation

• Regular check-ups: monitoring growth, psychomotor development, weight, height and healthy habits.
• Vaccination: reviewing the official schedule and advising on recommended vaccines based on each child's age and situation.
• Common illnesses: fever, respiratory infections, ear infections, digestive problems and dermatitis, among others.
• Respiratory problems: childhood asthma, bronchiolitis, rhinitis and respiratory allergies, in coordination with Allergy when needed.
• Digestive problems: intolerances, reflux, recurring abdominal pain and constipation.
• Parenting questions: breastfeeding, children's sleep, introducing solid food, behaviour and accident prevention.

What the consultation involves

Every visit starts with the child's medical history and an examination suited to their age, in a setting designed to keep little ones calm. The paediatrician explains the diagnosis and treatment clearly, points out what signs to watch for at home, and schedules a follow-up when the case calls for it. Health check-ups also look at diet: if a more specific plan is needed, it's coordinated with the Nutrition clinic at the same centre.

Families who prefer it can keep the same paediatrician for every visit, which makes follow-up easier: whoever sees the child knows their history, their allergies and how they're progressing.

When to book an appointment

For fever or symptoms that aren't improving, for well-child check-ups, to catch up on the vaccination schedule, or for any question about your child's health or habits, the paediatric clinic is the place to sort it out. Book an appointment with our paediatrician in Torre del Mar and avoid the wait: families' peace of mind is part of the treatment too.
