Pediatric medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on the health, growth, and development of infants, children, and adolescents, typically up to 18 years of age. It covers a wide range of conditions, including infectious diseases, congenital disorders, nutritional deficiencies, and chronic illnesses such as asthma, diabetes, and epilepsy. Pediatricians provide preventive care through immunizations, routine check-ups, and developmental screenings to monitor physical, cognitive, and emotional growth. They also diagnose and treat acute illnesses like respiratory infections, gastrointestinal disorders, and skin conditions, as well as manage more complex conditions requiring multidisciplinary care. Pediatric pharmacology plays a crucial role in ensuring safe medication use, as children metabolize drugs differently than adults. Special attention is given to neonatal and adolescent health, addressing issues like premature birth complications, behavioral disorders, and puberty-related concerns. The goal of pediatric medicine is to promote overall well-being, prevent diseases, and ensure children achieve optimal health as they grow into adulthood
