Finding the perfect doctor to help when your child is sick
The definition of pediatrics states that it is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends people be under pediatric care up to the age of 21.
A medical doctor who specializes in this area is known as a pediatrician.
The difference in medical care for children and care for adults centers on the smaller bodies and immature physiology of children, which drives diagnoses, prescribing medication and choosing other care.
There are more than 25 subspecialties of pediatrics, including neonatology, pediatric cardiology, pediatric oncology, sports medicine, and pediatric allergy and immunology. The Medical Experts on JustAnswer are trained to answer urgent pediatrics questions at any time, even when your pediatrician’s office is closed.

Getting answers to your worrisome health problems
Medical Experts on JustAnswer handle a huge range of pediatrics questions, such as:
- I accidentally gave my 90-lb 10-year-old son 20ml of Dimetapp cold and cough medicine, when it should have been 10 ml. Should I be concerned?
- Can a 16-year-old use a protein powder supplement with creatine in it, and, if so, what is the maximum creatine serving?
- My 10-year-old daughter has been complaining about shooting ear pain that comes and goes for the past two months, but the pediatrician keeps saying it isn’t an earache. What is it?
- My four-year-old daughter has had a skin rash on her leg for almost three months now. It doesn’t itch or hurt, and it’s not red, but neither oral antibiotics nor corticosteroids have helped.
When you contact an Expert on JustAnswer, be prepared with the following information to help the Expert help you:
- Age of the child
- Symptoms and how long they’ve been present
- Any treatment that has already been given
- Medications being taken
- Any other medical history
