Pediatric health care

In ancient times, society was generally regarded as inferior or as scientific. Experts regarded Adult medicine as harmless in the treatment of children. The children also had no rights. Fathers considered their children to be assets, so the very idea of ​​their children's lives was upheld. As a result, mothers, midwives, “intelligent women,” and general practitioners treated children on behalf of the doctors. Since mothers cannot count on professional medicine to care for their babies, they create their own styles, such as using alkaline ash to remove vernix at birth and treating toothache with opium or wine. Lack of proper child care, rights, and rules in health care to prioritize children's health led to many deaths.

In the twentieth century, medical professionals began to put more emphasis on the rights of children. Thus, children and adolescents are considered to be able to form their own health ideas when they reach the age of 13. More recently, research into children's decision-making can be conducted at the age of 12 years.Pediatric health care in advance:  measure weight, height, and rotation of the head  take your child's body temperature measure your baby's breathing and heart rate check the baby's skin colour and exertion give eye drops or ointment to prevent eye infections give vitamin K to treat the chances of bleeding
