When To See a Pediatrician

For many reasons, your child needs to see their pediatrician in Montgomery, AL. But it's essential to know precisely when to make an appointment with Dr. Albert Holloway of Payne and Holloway Pediatrics.

ADHD Evaluation

If your child is having trouble with ADHD, Dr. Holloway can provide the diagnosis and then recommend a treatment plan. Dr. Holloway will need information about your child's medical history, school grades, and sleeping habits. He may also ask you about your child's medications.

Depending on your child's age and the severity of their symptoms, Dr. Holloway might refer you to a specialist.

Child Immunizations

Vaccines are one of the most important ways to prevent serious illnesses and protect yourself and your family, following the recommended schedule. Children who aren't fully immunized have an increased risk of contracting dangerous diseases. 

Fortunately, vaccines are usually given during well-child visits. Therefore, keeping your appointments can help you get your child's vaccines on schedule and avoid missing important shots.

Children's Mental Health Services

When seeing a doctor for your child's physical health needs, it's essential to assess your child's mental health. Mental health disorders are often treated effectively with medication. But there are many other resources available to help you ensure your child's mental health is adequately taken care of.

The National Survey of Children's Health, an extensive annual survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, found that more than half of parents reported their child suffered from a mental health condition. 

Newborn Care

It would help if you had your newborn checked by their doctor within the first week of life. This visit includes a complete physical examination of the baby and essential vaccines. 

Your doctor will check the head circumference of the baby, the skin, and the ears. He will also examine the mouth and eyes. If your baby is experiencing any developmental issues, your doctor can rule out any behavioral problems.

Montgomery, AL, pediatrician Dr. Holloway will also monitor the infant's weight and length, and the results will be recorded on a growth chart. 

School and Sports Physicals

A school and sports physical is a preventative medical exam that protects your child from injuries.

The primary reason to visit your doctor is to ensure your child is healthy and able to participate in sports and other activities. 

Additionally, many schools require physical exams before the start of the school year. Finally, parents should discuss the sport their child will play and present any previous vaccination records.
