Who is a Pediatrician?
A pediatrician is a medical practitioner who provides healthcare solutions for children, including toddlers, infants, and teenagers. Pediatricians diagnose and care for infections and sicknesses that are susceptible to children and young people. Most pediatricians study general medicine aimed at children however, some specialize in rather serious health conditions and even surgery. They usually work in a private clinic, a hospital, or a combination of both.
