Chronic conditions

All children will likely have many different health problems during infancy and childhood, but for most children these problems are mild, they come and go, and they do not interfere with their daily life and development. For some children, however, chronic health conditions affect everyday life throughout childhood. We’ll define a chronic health condition as a health problem that lasts over three months, affects your child’s normal activities, and requires lots of hospitalizations and/or home health care and/or extensive medical care. Chronic condition is an “umbrella” term. Children with chronic illnesses may be ill or well at any given time, but they are always living with their condition. Some examples of chronic conditions include (but are not limited to):

  • Asthma (the most common)

  • Diabetes

  • Cerebral palsy

  • Sickle cell anemia

  • Cystic fibrosis

  • Cancer

  • AIDS

  • Epilepsy

  • Spina bifida

  • Congenital heart problems

Even though these are very different illnesses, kids and families dealing with any chronic condition have a lot in common. Learning to live with a chronic condition can be very challenging for a child, for parents, and for siblings and friends. Acute Care Pediatrics will be able to provide that compassionate care every step of the way!

Immunizations & Flu Shots

Our practice believes that all children should receive the recommended vaccines according to the guidelines provided by the AAP and the CDC. Vaccines are safe and effective in preventing diseases and health complications in children and young adults. Regular vaccinations help children ward off infections, and they are administered as one of the safest and best methods of disease prevention.

 

We are happy to discuss your concerns about vaccines at your child’s next visit.
