What this clinicis actually for.
Children are not small adults - they get sicker faster and recover faster, and the useful skill is telling those two apart. The clinic runs a long day for exactly that reason: a feverish child should be seen in hours, not next week. Alongside the sick visits, the steady work is vaccination, growth and development, where catching something early changes the whole course.
Done in-house, usually the same day: Vaccines · Fever · Growth
- Newborn check-upsWeight, feeding, jaundice, and the questions every new parent has in the first weeks.
- Vaccination scheduleEvery vaccine your child is due, tracked so you don't lose the card or the date.
- Childhood fever & infectionFevers that won't settle, seen quickly rather than waited out.
- Cough, cold & asthmaRepeated coughs and wheezing - and whether it is actually asthma.
- Growth and nutritionHeight, weight and appetite measured against where your child should be.
- Developmental checksSitting, walking, talking - reassurance, or early help if something is behind.
- Diarrhoea & dehydrationLoose motions in a small child, treated before dehydration sets in.
- Skin problems in childrenRashes, allergies and the infections common in young skin.
- Adolescent healthGrowth, puberty, acne and the things teenagers won't raise at home.
- New-parent guidanceFeeding, sleep and safety - practical questions answered without judgement.
- Child emergency careBreathing trouble, injury or a very sick child. Come straight in, any hour.
When to wait,and when not to.
Come in straight away if
Don't book an appointment for these. Come to emergency, or call +91 9100005195.
- Fast, laboured breathing, or the skin sucking in between the ribs
- A baby under three months with any fever
- Too drowsy to wake properly, or floppy and unresponsive
- No urine for eight hours, no tears when crying, or a sunken soft spot
- A rash that does not fade when pressed with a glass, especially with fever
- A fit or convulsion, or refusing all feeds
Lowering the risk
What actually makes a difference, not folklore.
- Keep vaccinations exactly on schedule - a delay is a window of risk
- Exclusive breastfeeding for six months where possible, then continue alongside food
- Handwashing before meals prevents more childhood illness than any medicine
- Safe drinking water and freshly cooked food - most diarrhoea here is preventable
- Never keep medicines, kerosene or cleaning liquids within a child's reach
Looking after yourself
Alongside treatment - never instead of it.
- For fever: light clothing, plenty of fluids, and paracetamol at the dose we give you by weight
- For loose motions: ORS after every episode - it matters far more than stopping the motions
- Never give a child antibiotics left over from someone else, or from a previous illness
- Keep the vaccination card safe and bring it to every visit, including sick visits
- Trust your instinct - a parent noticing 'something is not right' is a genuine reason to come in
