Paediatrics focuses on the healthcare of children from birth to adolescence, addressing a wide range of medical conditions. Neonatology is a subspecialty of paediatrics that specifically deals with the care of newborns, particularly premature or critically ill infants.

You should visit a paediatrician for regular check-ups, vaccinations, and developmental assessments. Additionally, consult a paediatrician if your child has a fever, persistent cough, unusual behaviour, or any other health concerns.

Neonatologists treat conditions in newborns such as prematurity, low birth weight, respiratory distress, infections, and congenital abnormalities. They also provide care for babies requiring intensive medical attention in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
