Pediatrics (Internal Medicine) is the clinical department dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of medical diseases in children, serving infants, children and adolescents under 14 years of age. Children are in the stage of growth and development, with immature organ systems; their disease manifestations and responses to medication differ markedly from those of adults, so pediatric diagnosis and treatment particularly emphasize individualization, refinement and safety. Scope of Services and Common Conditions The department's main clinical scope includes: respiratory diseases such as upper respiratory tract infections, bronchitis and pneumonia; digestive system diseases including diarrhea, indigestion and gastroenteritis; infectious diseases such as hand-foot-mouth disease, chickenpox and mumps; neonatal diseases including neonatal jaundice and neonatal pneumonia; allergic diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinitis; and nutritional and developmental issues including childhood anemia, malnutrition and growth retardation. For symptoms including fever, cough, vomiting, diarrhea and rash in children, the department provides systematic diagnosis and treatment. Specialized Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques Pediatrics performs projects tailored to children's characteristics, including nebulized inhalation therapy, pediatric pulmonary function testing and allergen testing, developing medication regimens and dosages suitable for children. The department values pediatric medication safety, strictly controlling the indications for antibiotics and hormones. It also provides services including pediatric growth and development assessment, height and weight management and nutritional guidance, helping parents raise children scientifically and identify developmental abnormalities early. Who Should Visit and Clinic Guide Children under 14 years with discomfort such as fever, cough, diarrhea, vomiting or rash should visit Pediatrics. Children's conditions change rapidly; parents should closely observe mental state, appetite and urine output, seeking timely medical care for listlessness, persistent high fever or rapid breathing. When visiting, truthfully inform the physician of exposure history and past medical history, follow prescribed medication, and never adjust dosages on your own. Clinic Notes Seek immediate emergency care for infants and young children with febrile seizures, dyspnea, cyanosis of the lips, severe dehydration (reduced urination, sunken eyes) or altered consciousness. Pediatric medication dosages must be strictly calculated by body weight; parents should follow medical advice and avoid overuse of antipyretics, antibiotics and cough medicines.
