questions

• Which department should I see for a child with a fever?
  Pediatrics(소아청소년과) is generally the first department to see for a child with a fever, as pediatric specialists are trained to evaluate fever across all age groups and underlying causes. If the fever appears linked to a specific area — such as the ear, throat, or urinary tract — the pediatrician may refer the child to a relevant specialist after initial assessment.
• Which department should I see for a child with a lingering cough and runny nose?
  Pediatrics(소아청소년과) is generally the first department to see when a child has a persistent cough and runny nose, as it covers the full range of childhood respiratory and infectious conditions. If symptoms point strongly to nasal or sinus issues, a referral to Otorhinolaryngology(이비인후과) may follow after the initial evaluation.
• Which department should I see for a child complaining of a stomachache?
