What does a pediatrician do?

• The normal activities of most paediatricians who
  operate as primary care doctors will be fairly
  similar to those of an internist.
• Pediatricians will ask inquiries to identify
  underlying medical conditions, educate patients
  and their families about correct care and disease
  management, write appropriate pharmaceutical
  prescriptions, and refer patients to other
  experts as needed.
• However, because their patients are generally too
  young to comply with any prescribed therapies or
  drugs on their own, the process of diagnosing,
  treating, and managing medical issues is
  challenging. As a result, physicians must recruit
  the assistance of parents, guardians, or other
  family members to assist in the management of
  diseases or injuries.
• They must also ensure that everyone caring for an
  adolescent patient is adequately informed about
  the dangers connected with any diseases that are
  diagnosed.
