When should you see a children's doctor in Melbourne CBD?
Children can become unwell quickly, and it isn’t always easy to know when medical advice is needed. It may be worth booking an appointment if your child has:
- A fever, cough, cold or other symptoms that aren’t improving
- Ear pain, a sore throat or recurring infections
- Skin rashes, eczema or other skin concerns
- A minor injury, sprain or ongoing pain
- Feeding, sleep or behavioural concerns
- Delays in growth or development
- A long-term health condition that needs ongoing care
- A routine health check or childhood immunisation is due
A paediatric GP in Melbourne CBD families can visit can help with everything from everyday childhood illnesses to ongoing health concerns, while also offering advice to support your child’s health as they grow.
