Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI)

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) are one of the most common reasons for hospital visits among young children. These infections, which include conditions such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and the common cold, can cause significant discomfort and, in severe cases, can be life-threatening. At Patwardhan Hospital, we offer comprehensive care for ARI, including:

• Diagnosis: Our team conducts thorough evaluations, including physical examinations and diagnostic tests, to accurately identify the specific type of respiratory infection.
• Medical Management: We provide a range of treatments, including antiviral and antibiotic medications, to manage infections and alleviate symptoms. Our team also offers supportive care, such as nebulization and oxygen therapy, to help children recover quickly.
• Preventive Measures: We educate families on preventive measures, such as vaccination and hygiene practices, to reduce the risk of respiratory infections.

Our goal is to provide effective treatment for ARI, ensuring a swift recovery and minimizing the impact on children’s health and well-being.

Diarrheal Diseases

Diarrheal diseases are a leading cause of hospitalization among young children, particularly in rural and lower-income areas in and around Panvel. These conditions can lead to severe dehydration and, if left untreated, can be life-threatening. At Patwardhan Hospital, our Paediatrics Department offers comprehensive care for diarrheal diseases, including:

• Diagnosis: Our team conducts thorough evaluations to identify the underlying cause of diarrhea, which may include infections, dietary factors, or underlying medical conditions.
• Medical Management: We provide a range of treatments to manage symptoms and rehydrate children, including oral rehydration solutions (ORS), intravenous fluids, and medications to address infections and inflammation.
• Preventive Measures: We educate families on preventive measures, such as proper hygiene practices, safe drinking water, and appropriate nutrition, to reduce the risk of diarrheal diseases.

Our commitment is to provide effective and timely treatment for diarrheal diseases, ensuring that children recover quickly and remain healthy.

Malnutrition

Malnutrition is a prevalent concern among younger children, particularly in socio-economically disadvantaged populations. It can have long-term effects on physical and cognitive development. At Patwardhan Hospital, our Paediatrics Department is dedicated to addressing malnutrition through comprehensive care and support.

• Diagnosis: Our team conducts thorough assessments, including physical examinations and nutritional evaluations, to identify malnutrition and its underlying causes.
• Medical Management: We provide a range of treatments, including nutritional supplements, therapeutic diets, and medications to address underlying medical conditions that contribute to malnutrition.
• Educational Programs: We offer educational programs and support for families to promote healthy eating habits, proper nutrition, and overall well-being. Our team also collaborates with community organizations to address socio-economic factors that contribute to malnutrition.

Our goal is to provide effective interventions for malnutrition, ensuring that children receive the nutrition they need to thrive and reach their full potential.
