General Pediatrics

Children have trouble explaining their own health condition, we have to pay attention when they look and act differently from usual. We accept patients starting from newborns. We also look at the mother's health along with her child. You can bring infants with you, so please feel free to contact us.

Common symptoms in children

If you have concerns about any of the following, please come for a consultation.

  • Fever
  • Cough, Runny nose, Sinus congestion
  • Sore throat
  • Rash
  • Crying at night, Bed-wetting, Nail-biting or other concerning behaviors
  • Developmental concerns
  • Stomach pain, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Constipation

About Our Treatments

Our clinic diagnoses are based on Western medicine, offers easy-to-understand explanations, and performs the minimum necessary treatment. We ask about your lifestyle (diet, sleep, exercise) and the child’s mental state to offer advice on achieving a healthier body. Our goal is to enhance natural healing power.
While undergoing treatment, we will give you a planned date for the next consultation, but another consultation may not be necessary if your child’s condition improves.

Allergies

Allergies are when the body's immune system, which is supposed to remove foreign substances (such as bacteria or viruses), overreacts and causes a reaction in the body. There are multiple types of allergies, and the symptoms vary from person to person.
Childhood allergies have been on the rise recently. If you suspect your child may have an allergy, please come and speak to us.

Major types of allergies

  • Bronchial asthma
  • Allergic rhinitis
  • Allergic conjunctivitis
  • Atopic dermatitis
  • Food allergies
  • Anaphylaxis

Etc.

These symptoms may suggest an allergy

  • You sometimes gasp for breath
  • A prolonged cough or runny nose
  • Your eyes always itch
  • Your skin is itchy
  • A prolonged redness of the skin
  • You get a rash or feel sick after eating certain foods
  • You experience a change in state after eating something (vomiting, eczema, etc.)

The test and treatments we do: We can test whether you have an allergy via a blood or skin test

  • Food stress test

    We conduct a food stress test by having you eat small amounts of a food which has caused an allergic reaction before to see whether you can eat it. We adjust the stress test based on your blood test results and the severity of your previous allergic reactions.

  • Oral immunotherapy

    Oral immunotherapy is usually conducted by having you eat a food that is currently causing an allergic reaction as much as you can and making your body used to it. We provide advice on how to feed a child with an allergy at home in a safe way and when to take the food away.

  • EpiPen® prescription

    We can prescribe EpiPen®, an epinephrine autoinjector, if you have in the past experienced anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction, and are likely to experience it again.

  • Treatments other than Western medicine (at your own expense)

    We can also treat a child with allergies using natural remedies or dietary treatments. Contact us if you wish to treat your child with treatments other than steroids or drugs.

Breastfeeding assistance

We also provide consultation for breastfeeding.

Contact us if you experience these problems.

  • The baby doesn't suck breast mills
  • Mother's milk production is low
  • You feel pain when breastfeeding
  • Your breasts feel clogged and hurt
  • The baby only breastfeeds and doesn't want to eat baby food
  • You feel stiffness in your breasts
  • You are concerned about taking medicine while breastfeeding

How are we different from breastfeeding care in maternity hospitals

We teach you how to self-care for your breasts. (We do not directly conduct massages.) We also provide diet and lifestyle advice. In addition, we can also prescribe medication depending on your symptoms. The medication is safe to use even during breastfeeding, so please tell us if you are experiencing severe pain.
Furthermore, we can prescribe a breast milk stimulant if you want to increase the amount of breast milk you produce. In that case, please contact us by phone.
(Expenses for breast milk stimulants are out-of-pocket.)
We provide support so that you can enjoy breastfeeding.

Support policy

Many mothers are concerned that they produce too little breast milk, but producing breast milk does not necessarily mean that the baby is drinking it (the amount of breast milk produced and the amount drunk by the baby differs). If the baby is not drinking the milk properly, it will not be well nourished and your breasts will be prone to have problems even if they are producing milk.

Because of that, here we observe you breastfeed and provide advice regarding your posture and feeding techniques. We use dolls and models to explain it in a way that is easy to understand, so do not hesitate to practice together with us.
In addition, breast milk production is also linked to the mother’s mental health, so we also provide mental health care. Do not hesitate to consult us about childcare in general or domestic problems and worries. We will follow your principles and feelings in supporting you.

Our breastfeeding philosophy

We provide breastfeeding support, but we also place importance on your child's healthy growth and your own happiness. We use a formula when necessary. We will support you in accordance with your feelings, so please enjoy your breastfeeding period while it lasts.
