Frequently Asked Questions — Paediatrics in Chennai
At what temperature is a child's fever considered dangerous?
Any fever in a baby under 3 months is an emergency. In older children, a temperature above 39°C (102.2°F) that does not come down with paracetamol, or any fever with rash, stiff neck, or difficulty breathing, needs prompt medical attention.
What vaccinations does a child need in India?
India's National Immunisation Schedule covers BCG, Hepatitis B, OPV, IPV, DPT, Hib, Pneumococcal, Rotavirus, MMR, and others at specific ages. Our paediatricians follow both the government schedule and IAP guidelines, and maintain a vaccination record for your child.
How do I know if my child's growth is normal?
Growth is assessed by plotting weight, height, and head circumference on standardised growth charts. Our paediatricians review these at every well-child visit and advise on nutrition and any interventions needed.
Can I bring my teenager to a paediatrician?
Yes. Paediatricians care for children and adolescents up to age 18. For adolescent-specific concerns including puberty, mental health, and reproductive health, we provide age-appropriate, confidential consultations.
