Is it safe to administer medication to children?

Children are different from adults when it comes to administering and using medications.

We take the medication management of your child very seriously.

Do you need a physical before kindergarten?

While some schools don’t require that your child has a physical before starting preschool or kindergarten, some will. Even if they don’t, this exam helps you understand how your child is doing and assesses their growth and development. During the physical, our doctors check your child’s height and weight, pulse, and blood pressure. We may also do a brief vision screening and see the child’s range of motion.

Do you need a physical for sports?

Sports physicals are required to determine the child’s health and whether they can withstand the physical demands of their chosen activity. When you bring your child to Port City Pediatrics, our trained pediatric physicians will go over your child’s behavior and medical history with you. This allows us to set a good baseline for the kind of activity your child is suited for and to work around any existing health issues your child has. For example, a child with asthma may require a different strength of medication if they are involved in a cardio-intense sport such as soccer or lacrosse. A child with sensitive skin may need a prescription lotion or ointment if they engage in water sports such as swimming or polo.
