As a parent or caregiver, you notice the small things—a change in appetite, a new rash, a lingering cough. Paediatric care is about listening carefully to you and your child and responding with calm, consistent support as they grow.
Each stage of childhood brings new needs. Some are expected, and others arrive suddenly. Whether your child is unwell, due for a check-up, or just needs reassurance, you deserve a place where their health is treated with care and thoughtfulness.
What is included in paediatric care?
Paediatric care covers many health needs for babies, toddlers, children, and teens. It may include:
- Growth and developmental check-ups
- Vaccinations and immunisation tracking
- Treatment of common childhood illnesses (such as colds, fevers, or infections)
- Nutrition and feeding support
- Skin issues (like eczema or rashes)
- Advice on sleep, behaviour, and emotional wellbeing
- Support with school health letters or medical forms
These visits are also a space to ask questions—no concern is too small. You might just want to check if something is “normal,” which is more than okay.
When should you bring your child in?
Some visits are scheduled. Others come with urgency. You may want to make an appointment if your child:
- Has a persistent fever, cough, rash, or earache
- Is struggling with appetite, weight, or sleep
- Seems unusually tired, irritable, or withdrawn
- Needs a school medical certificate or sports clearance
- Is due for a routine check-up or vaccination
Babies and younger children may not be able to describe how they feel, but changes in behaviour, energy, or feeding can be strong indicators that something needs attention.
What happens during the visit?
Every child is different, and so is every visit. Dr Godlimpi will take the time to understand your concerns, examine your child carefully, and explain the next steps clearly. If follow-up care or medication is needed, you will receive guidance you can understand and apply at home.
