Chronic Conditions Specialist

What are chronic conditions?

A chronic condition is a health issue your child may have long-term, or for life. Properly managing chronic conditions can alleviate your child’s symptoms or help them overcome a disease over time. You can trust the expert team at Pediatric Kare Klinic Pllc with your child’s care.

Does my child have a chronic condition?

If your child experiences unusual symptoms that are long-lasting, they may have a chronic disease. Examples of childhood health issues commonly treated at Pediatric Kare Klinic include:

• Asthma
• Allergies
• Skin conditions
• High blood pressure
• Constipation
• Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Bed wetting

The goal of chronic disease management at Pediatric Kare Klinic Pllc is symptom relief and prevention of serious complications. The team is knowledgeable and can educate you and your family about at-home chronic disease management.

What should I expect during my child’s appointment?

During your child’s appointment at Pediatric Kare Klinic Pllc, their provider weighs them and checks their height, weight, pulse, blood pressure, and other vital signs. They review your child’s medical history and symptoms and complete a physical exam. If necessary, medical solutions can be managed by specialists with a referral.

Your pediatric specialist might recommend diagnostic tests, such as blood tests, urine tests, skin prick tests, skin biopsies, or lung function/breathing tests to find out if your child has a chronic disease. 

How can my child manage their condition?

Your child’s provider educates your family about how to properly manage a chronic condition at home. They might recommend:

• Diet or other lifestyle changes
• Dietary supplements
• Over-the-counter medications
• Prescription oral medicines
• Topical medications
• Asthma inhalers
• Counseling

The Pediatric Kare Klinic Pllc team personalizes your child’s treatment plan and routinely monitors their chronic condition to make adjustments in medications when necessary. They have the experience and expertise needed to help your child live a healthy, symptom-free life.

If someone in your family has a serious chronic condition requiring the care of a pediatric specialist, the Pediatric Kare Klinic Pllc team refers them to a highly qualified provider in your area.
