Pall Mall Medical - for all your private healthcare needs, whether you are self-paying or have private medical insurance.
Paediatric consultants diagnose, treat and manage a variety of physical and emotional conditions in children, from birth to late teens.
Paediatric consultants deal with a huge range of issues which affect babies and children including common problems such as asthma, developmental and behavioural problems such as ADHD and continence and enuresis (bed wetting).
Children’s rheumatology looks at common problems with rheumatic diseases which often involve swelling and inflammation in the joints or muscles. Rheumatology issues are diagnosed by a range of tests including a physical examination by a Consultant Paediatric Rheumatologist, ultrasound scans, MRI scans and blood tests. Treatment will depend on the specific condition but can include physiotherapy, pain management and anti-inflammatory medication.
One of the most common conditions treated by paediatric rheumatologists is juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) where joints become inflamed and painful due to an autoimmune reaction resulting in joint swelling, restriction and stiffness. Treatment for JIA includes medication, such as anti-inflammatory drugs and immunosuppressive drugs, exercise and physiotherapy.
This rare condition causes symptoms such as muscle weakness and rashes in children. It’s an autoimmune disease which means the immune system attacks healthy cells in the body which damages the cells and causes the symptoms of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Symptoms of JDM can be managed with immunosuppresive medication and physiotherapy.
If your child is affected by any of the above conditions or similar rheumatology problems then book a consultation with one of Pall Mall Medical’s Consultant Paediatric Rheumatologists.
