Pediatric Center, Synphaet Children’s Hospital (Pediatric Center)

Caring for every stage of your child’s life… from day one to strong, healthy growth.

Because children are not just “miniature adults,” healthcare and pediatric treatments require deep understanding, tenderness, and specialized clinical expertise. Pediatrics is vital in caring for infants, children, and adolescents—covering developmental promotion, immunizations, diagnostic testing, and treatment for both acute and complex chronic diseases—ensuring every child grows to their full potential with reduced risk of future complications.

The Pediatric Center at Synphaet Children’s Hospital offers comprehensive child healthcare from newborns, toddlers, school-age children, to adolescents. Led by a team of general pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, supported by modern diagnostic instruments, child-friendly examination rooms, and multidisciplinary teams, we ensure every child receives appropriate, prompt, and safe medical care.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q: Does Synphaet Children’s Hospital separate zones for sick children and well children?

A: Yes. We maintain strictly separated service areas for well children (visiting for vaccinations/developmental checks) and sick children, ensuring safety and preventing cross-infections.

Q: When should I immediately bring a feverish child to see a pediatrician?

A: If the baby is under 3 months old with a fever, or if the child has a high fever exceeding 39°C, is lethargic, breathes rapidly, has seizures, refuses to eat/drink, or the fever persists for more than 2–3 days, seek immediate medical attention.

Q: If my child has a high fever in the middle of the night, what first aid should I do before bringing them to the hospital?

A: Administer weight-appropriate paracetamol (acetaminophen), wipe down the body with room-temperature water against the direction of hair growth, and dress the child in light, breathable clothing. If the child shows lethargy, shortness of breath, or seizures, bring them to our pediatric emergency center immediately.

Q: Should I bring my child for a check-up even when they are not sick?

A: Yes. Age-appropriate well-child visits track growth, evaluate developmental milestones, ensure timely vaccinations, and help identify any underlying abnormalities early.

Q: What should I do if my child refuses to eat and is underweight?

A: You should consult a pediatrician to evaluate their growth, nutritional status, and underlying factors to establish an appropriate personalized management plan.
