What is pediatric care?

Pediatric care covers the health needs of babies, children, preteens, and teenagers who are not yet adults. Kids need care that is specific to their growth and development, and it isn’t always the same care that adults need for similar purposes. 

The providers at Collierville Family Health are kid-friendly and ready to visit with you and your child about pediatric health. They ensure your child stays on track with all the preventive care they need and can make diagnoses for any health concerns that come up in your household. 

They also educate you and your child on health and wellness so you can implement their advice at home. 

Which services does pediatric care include?

Collierville Family Health offers multiple services for kids of all ages and with different health statuses. Your child’s providers can see them for:

Physicals

During a physical, your child’s provider tracks their growth and checks their health and functioning. The examination includes measuring your child’s height and weight, taking their vitals, and evaluating certain body parts like their ears, nose, and throat. Your child can get annual physicals as well as school and sports physicals as necessary.

Sick visits

You should book a sick visit for your child if they have any symptoms that need an examination. During a sick visit, your child’s provider makes a diagnosis based on their findings and can prescribe medications. 

Vaccinations

Vaccinations prevent infectious illnesses by teaching your child’s immune system to fight the disease-causing pathogens. At Collierville Family Health, your child can get vaccinated for the flu, polio, chickenpox, and other diseases. 

Which conditions affect children?

The pediatric providers at Collierville Family Health can see your child for acute illnesses, which last for a short time, as well as chronic conditions that affect them for years or a lifetime. Your child can get the care they need for:

• Asthma

• Digestive issues
