Parents must know if they require a consultation/ appointment with paediatricians or neonatologists before delivery.

When should I consider seeing a paediatrician & Neonatologist?
If you experience that your pregnancy is at high risk and a higher chance that the infant will be born prematurely. Further, if you experience that the foetus is diagnosed with congenital disorders or has injury during the delivery, then you must visit a neonatologist.

How do paediatricians & Neonatologists decide on a treatment plan?
The treatment plans for paediatricians and neonatologists in Hyderabad differ. Paediatricians examine the child’s mental, physical, and behavioural development.

They collaborate with paediatricians and provide sound follow-up care to the baby.
Will paediatricians & Neonatologists help manage side effects during treatment?

What documents should I carry on my first visit to a paediatrician & Neonatologist?
Parents must carry complete medical records of the child’s health, past illnesses, medications, immunisation and previous surgical reports. Further, it is also vital to carry insurance documents, a list of current medications, and reports related to genetic disorders are important to carry while seeing medical specialists.
