A Closer Look
with Dr. Christopher T. Mullett
Today's Health Topic: Pediatric Gastroenterology
In addition to traditional formal training in pediatric care, Dr. Mullett of
Memorial Mother Frances Hospital is specifically trained in the sub-specialty
of pediatric gastroenterology. Here's Dr. Mullett to explain further.
What is pediatric
gastroenterology?
It's a sub-specialty of pediatric
medicine that is specifically concerned
with diseases and disorders of the liver
and intestines of children. iVlany times
I simply deal with common everyday
problems such as constipation.
However, I am able to treat patients
with more serious issues such as
infants with chronic jaundice or
children with chronic abdominal pain.
What are some of the
symptoms that should
concern parents?
If a child has persistent abdominal
pain, nausea, diarrhea or vomiting, the
parent would be wise to make an
appointment.
Encopresis
(involuntary soiling) is
another common
disorder in children
that should be made
known to the family
doctor. Also, parents
should watch to make
sure that their child is
growing at a normal
rate.
What is the parent's role
in the treatment process?
Parents are the means by which the
treatment is administered at home.
Without complete support from the
parents, my recommendations will not
be effective. That's why I encourage
parents to ask questions in order to
really understand their role in the
treatment process. It's important for
parents to be consistent when they're
treating dieir child.
Are follow-up visits
important?
Yes! But I also know how difficult it
can be to get kids into the doctor's
office. If a visit is not possible, I
simply ask that parents at least call in
once to update me on
the child's progress.
