What is pediatrics?

What happens during pediatrics visits?
During your child’s appointment at Allied Healthcare Physicians, friendly staff members greet them and assess their height, weight, temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and other vital signs as needed. In babies, they evaluate head circumference.
Providers check your child’s throat, eyes, breathing, heartbeat, reflexes, abdomen, and more during a physical examination. They discuss symptoms, family history of disease, past diagnoses, and your child’s medical history.
The team at Allied Healthcare Physicians may recommend your child undergo a nasal or throat swab, urine test, blood tests, asthma or allergy testing, X-rays, or other imaging procedures if they show signs of a health problem or are at risk of developing one.
Does my child need treatment?
If your child is healthy, they often don’t require treatment, though you can opt for vaccinations if desired. Your child may need treatment if they have a medical issue. Allied Healthcare Physicians professionals offer some of the following treatments for kids:
- Lifestyle change counseling

- Prescription medications
