Pediatric neurologist in Kharkiv
Consultation of a pediatric neurologist
A pediatric neurologist is a doctor who deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the nervous system in children. The nervous system ensures the coordinated work of the entire body. Often, it is failures in its work that cause various functional disorders in the baby.
If the child has general disturbances of sensitivity to external and internal factors, it is necessary to immediately show him to a neurologist. But even if nothing bothers the baby, it is important to undergo preventive examinations:
- In the first year of life, a neurologist examines the baby every three months (1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months) in order to rule out or detect pathologies of the nervous system.
- When registering for kindergarten (if you do not attend a preschool, a preventive examination must be done once a year).
- When registering for school (to determine the form of education and degree of workload).
