Who should I trust with my child’s health?

It’s best to choose a doctor for your child who also works with adults. That way your child doesn’t have to switch to a new doctor when they hit their teenage years. The doctors at Irvine Family Care understand the importance of keeping track of your child’s development, and they will work together to ensure your child gets the medical attention they need based on their personal medical history.

What can I do to ensure my child stays healthy?

Children still have developing bodies and immune systems, and that is why they are more prone to getting sick. There are many things you can do to ensure your child stays healthy, such as:

Ensure they have a good diet

Making sure your child eats right can save them from many sicknesses. Make sure they eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and go light on the sugar. Sugar reduces the ability of their white blood cells to fight off bacteria, and that’s why consuming sugar can make your child sick more easily.

Ensure they get enough exercise

Exercise can help your children stay healthy because exercise improves blood flow throughout the body, and this can boost their immune system.

Come in for routine checkups

You should bring your child in at least once a year to get a complete examination to make sure nothing is wrong internally and to ensure their vitamin and mineral levels are where they should be.

What can I expect for my child’s routine checkup?

When your child comes in for a routine checkup, they will get a physical exam to check their weight and height. Their doctor will also check their blood pressure and heart health. Furthermore, their doctor may request a urine sample to make sure their iron and vitamin levels are where they should be.

If you need expert care from doctors you can trust, please call to book an appointment today with Irvine Family Care.
