Good afternoon, everyone. The pediatric medical history is a key tool for evaluating and treating children. It begins with patient identification, the reason for consultation, and a description of the current illness. Prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal histories are important as they influence development. Monitoring growth and developmental milestones helps assess if the child is progressing normally.

A complete vaccination record is essential for disease prevention. Past illnesses, hospitalizations, allergies, and surgeries provide important background. Family and social history give insight into hereditary and environmental factors. Nutritional habits are vital for overall health. Lastly, physical examination, complementary studies, and a treatment plan form the basis of comprehensive pediatric care.
