The general pediatrics department at Ankura Hospital is concerned with your child’s overall health, including physical, emotional, and social well-being. Our board-certified pediatricians diagnose and treat a wide range of childhood ailments, including:
- Minor ailments, such as allergies and seasonal problems: Seasonal allergic rhinitis, also known as “hay fever,” is the name of seasonal allergies. These allergy symptoms appear at specific periods of the year, mainly when trees, grasses, and weeds release pollen particles into the air to fertilize other plants.
- Vaccinations and general health examinations: Childhood vaccines or immunizations can feel daunting when you’re a new parent. Vaccines not only protect your child from diseases like polio, tetanus, and diphtheria, but they also protect other children. They eliminate or significantly decrease dangerous diseases that spread from one child to another.
