Shanghai United Family Hospital

Paediatrics

Pediatrics The Department of Pediatrics at Shanghai United Family Hospital can provide your child with high-quality outpatient and inpatient treatment services. Our pediatricians are experienced in pediatric care and treatment both in China and abroad. Children are the treasures of every family and deserve a high standard of pediatric care. Our pediatricians are experienced and specially trained to help prevent and manage a wide range of health problems in infants and toddlers, children, and adolescents. Children have special health-care needs. Our medical professionals, who have education and work experience overseas, have a deep understanding of children's physical, emotional, and social development. Children may often speak little because they are too young or shy, but our pediatricians deeply understand the importance of listening carefully to what children have to say. Children often show symptoms differently from adults and therefore require different medications and care approaches. Our doctors have received special training in this area and are able to recognize the importance of these differences, especially in newborns and children. We provide children in Shanghai with a full range of services, including preventive care. We work closely with pediatric specialists in China and abroad and with professional medical staff in our Psychology Counseling Department, Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Department, and Surgery Department. This enables us to fully assess children with special needs and recommend appropriate treatment methods. If necessary, we can also help your child find affiliated specialty care services.

Same-Day Outpatient Services for Sick Children Our same-day pediatric outpatient clinic can generally provide treatment for children with all kinds of illnesses or injuries. All children become ill. Minor illnesses such as colds and coughs are common, especially among school-age children, because school life increases their opportunities to be infected by other children. Minor injuries are also common in children, but like other health problems, they need to be treated appropriately. Please make an appointment for same-day outpatient services if your child has any of the following: Vomiting or diarrhea lasting several hours A rash, especially with a fever A cough or cold that has not improved after several days, or a worsening cold accompanied by a fever A wound that may require stitches Limping or inability to move an arm or leg Ear pain accompanied by fever, inability to sleep or eat, persistent vomiting, or severe diarrhea Fluid or pus draining from the ear A sore throat or difficulty swallowing Stabbing or persistent pain in the abdomen or stomach A temperature above 38 degrees in a newborn less than two months old Fever and vomiting occurring at the same time No food intake for more than one day Preventive Health-Care Services for Children Regular checkups for children are the key to preventive health care.
