Paediatric

Therefore “paediatric” (British and Commonwealth usage) was changed to “pediatric” (American usage). Therefore, both spellings are correct depending on which country you reside in or which style of English was used by your teachers.

Each one brings its own health concerns, which is why you should find a doctor specializing in pediatrics to guide you through the process. Most pediatric clinics will treat young patients until the age of 18, although people aren't considered fully grown until they turn 21.

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine dealing with the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents from birth up to the age of 18. The word “paediatrics” means “healer of children”; they are derived from two Greek words: (pais = child) and (iatros = doctor or healer).

A pediatrician is a doctor who focuses on the health of infants, children, adolescents and young adults. Pediatric care starts at birth and lasts through a child's 21st birthday or longer. Pediatricians prevent, detect and manage physical, behavioral and developmental issues that affect children.
