Keeping your child healthy is a tough job! But, well-care visits make it easier to track your child’s health & wellness. Back to school time can be a convenient time to schedule routine checkups and immunizations.
Well-child visits are checkups specifically for tracking growth and learning. Your care provider will assess how your child is developing not only physically, but emotionally & socially as well. Other than checkups, school-age children should be seen for significant weight change, fever higher than 102 degrees, breathing problems, skin irritations, or changes in behavior.
What can you expect at an appointment?
- Physical exam
- Height & weight measurements
- Vaccines or immunizations
- Hearing & vision screenings
- Screenings for other potential health risks
