Paediatric Care at Our Hospitals
Children require specialised healthcare that goes beyond treating illness. Their physical, emotional, and developmental needs change rapidly as they grow, making timely medical care essential for ensuring healthy childhood development. At Ujala Cygnus Hospitals, our Paediatrics Department provides comprehensive healthcare services for newborns, infants, children, and adolescents, combining advanced medical expertise with compassionate family-centred care.
Our experienced paediatricians diagnose and treat a wide range of childhood illnesses, infections, allergies, respiratory conditions, digestive disorders, nutritional deficiencies, developmental concerns, and chronic medical conditions. We also provide preventive healthcare through routine health check-ups, growth monitoring, immunisation programmes, nutritional counselling, and developmental assessments to help children achieve their full potential.
Working closely with neonatologists, paediatric surgeons, paediatric intensivists, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and other specialists, we ensure every child receives coordinated, personalised care. Whether your child requires routine medical attention, emergency treatment, or specialised long-term management, our multidisciplinary team is committed to delivering safe, evidence-based care in a child-friendly environment.
At Ujala Cygnus Hospitals, we believe every child deserves the best start in life. Our goal is to promote healthy growth, prevent illness, and provide expert medical care that supports children and reassures families at every stage of childhood.
What is Paediatrics?
Paediatrics is the branch of medicine dedicated to the healthcare of infants, children, and adolescents from birth up to 18 years of age. A paediatrician specialises in preventing, diagnosing, and treating childhood illnesses while monitoring growth, development, nutrition, and overall wellbeing.
Paediatric care includes routine health check-ups, vaccinations, treatment of common infections, management of chronic diseases such as asthma and diabetes, developmental assessments, and specialised care for newborns and children with complex medical conditions. The aim of paediatrics is not only to treat illness but also to ensure healthy physical, emotional, and developmental growth throughout childhood.

Symptoms You Should Never Ignore
Children may not always be able to explain how they feel, making it important for parents to recognise warning signs that require medical attention. Early diagnosis can prevent complications and ensure faster recovery.
Common symptoms that should never be ignored include:
- Persistent High Fever: Fever lasting more than two days or accompanied by lethargy, seizures, or breathing difficulty.
- Difficulty Breathing: Rapid breathing, wheezing, noisy breathing, or persistent cough requiring immediate evaluation.
- Poor Feeding or Refusal to Eat: Especially in infants and young children, poor feeding may indicate underlying illness.
- Persistent Vomiting or Diarrhoea: Frequent vomiting or diarrhoea leading to dehydration requires prompt treatment.
- Delayed Growth or Weight Gain: Slow growth, poor weight gain, or developmental delays should be assessed by a paediatrician.
- Repeated Infections: Frequent ear infections, chest infections, urinary tract infections, or persistent illnesses may require further evaluation.
- Seizures or Loss of Consciousness: Any seizure or unexplained episode of unconsciousness requires urgent medical care.
- Persistent Skin Rashes: Rashes associated with fever, swelling, or allergic reactions should never be ignored.
- Behavioural or Developmental Concerns: Delayed speech, poor social interaction, learning difficulties, or unusual behaviour should be evaluated early.
- Excessive Sleepiness or Irritability: Sudden changes in activity, alertness, or behaviour may indicate a serious underlying condition.
If your child experiences any of these symptoms, seek medical advice without delay.
When Should You Consult a Paediatrician?
You should consider scheduling a paediatric consultation if your child:
- Has persistent fever, cough, or recurrent infections.
- Misses developmental milestones or shows delayed growth.
- Experiences feeding difficulties or poor weight gain.
- Has asthma, allergies, or breathing problems.
- Suffers from repeated vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation.
- Requires routine vaccinations or health check-ups.
- Develops skin rashes, unexplained swelling, or allergic reactions.
- Shows behavioural, learning, or speech-related concerns.
- Has a chronic medical condition requiring long-term monitoring.
- Needs emergency medical attention for injury or sudden illness.
Early consultation with an experienced paediatrician helps ensure timely diagnosis, effective treatment, and healthy physical and emotional development.
The Paediatric Conditions We Treat
Newborn & Neonatal Conditions
Newborn babies require specialised medical attention during the first few weeks of life. Our paediatricians and neonatologists provide expert care for premature babies, low birth weight infants, neonatal jaundice, feeding difficulties, respiratory problems, infections, and other conditions that may affect newborn health and development.
Childhood Infections
Children are more vulnerable to infections because their immune systems are still developing. We diagnose and treat common childhood illnesses such as viral fever, influenza, pneumonia, ear infections, throat infections, urinary tract infections, dengue, typhoid, and gastrointestinal infections using evidence-based treatment protocols.
Asthma & Allergic Disorders
Asthma and allergies can interfere with a child's daily activities and quality of life. Our specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and personalised treatment for childhood asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergies, eczema, and recurrent wheezing, helping children breathe comfortably and stay active.
Growth & Developmental Disorders
Regular monitoring of growth and development is essential throughout childhood. We assess children with delayed growth, poor weight gain, delayed puberty, developmental delays, speech disorders, learning difficulties, and behavioural concerns, providing early intervention whenever required.
Nutritional Disorders
Proper nutrition is essential for healthy growth and development. Our paediatricians and clinical dieticians manage childhood obesity, malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies, feeding difficulties, anaemia, and other nutritional concerns through personalised dietary guidance and medical care.
Childhood Gastrointestinal Disorders
Digestive problems are common during childhood and may affect growth and wellbeing. We diagnose and treat constipation, chronic diarrhoea, abdominal pain, acid reflux, food intolerance, liver disorders, and other gastrointestinal conditions using child-friendly treatment approaches.

When should I take my child to a paediatrician?

How often should my child have a health check-up?
Regular health check-ups are recommended from birth through adolescence to monitor growth, development, nutrition, vaccinations, and overall health.
