Treatment of Infectious Diseases at CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Andheri East
A fever or rash in a child rarely arrives at a convenient time, and parents need a clear answer quickly. CritiCare Asia Hospitals is a paediatric hospital in Mumbai where paediatricians and infectious disease specialists examine and treat newborns, children and teenagers who have been exposed to a communicable illness or are already unwell. Testing and consultation are arranged in a planned order so that diagnosis does not drag on. The team also advises on how to keep the illness from spreading at home, school or daycare. Our Andheri East centre offers paediatric infectious disease treatment in Andheri East, Mumbai for everything from routine viral infections to conditions needing closer monitoring.
Symptoms That Need Attention
- Fever above 102°F, or a fever continuing beyond two to three days
