Pediatrics is a branch of healthcare that caters to infants, children, and those in the adolescent stage. A pediatrician does a lot more than just prescribe medicines for sickness, they help your child live and thrive. A Specialist takes into account the prematurity of its patients and their receptiveness to medicines and treatments which adults are otherwise more responsive to. There persists a strong functional difference in the way adults absorb medicines and in the way a child’s stomach might react to the same. There are specific enzymes inside a human body that determine the rate of absorption of any drug, and owing to a higher rate of gastric emptying in infants, the rate of absorption is comparatively low. So a visit to the pediatrician is recommended at any given point your child shows any of these unusual symptoms.
