Pediatric Care 6 Days A Week

Receive dedicated, holistic pediatric care focused on prevention, while effectively treating acute illnesses and managing long-term health conditions.
Our pediatric practice is open Monday through Saturday during regular business hours, making it easier for busy families to find a convenient appointment. Scheduling ahead helps minimize wait times. Outside regular hours, we offer after-hours pediatric care to our regular patients with urgent health concerns that can’t wait until the next business day.
Treating Common Childhood Illnesses
When your child becomes ill in Budapest, rely on our caring pediatric team to offer support for common childhood illnesses, including:
Colds, flu, RSV, and other upper-respiratory illnesses
In colder months, children are more prone to respiratory illnesses like flu, COVID, and RSV. Our pediatricians can effectively diagnose these conditions and recommend appropriate treatments for recovery.
Fever management
Fever in children can be concerning for parents. We provide guidance on when to monitor symptoms at home or seek further evaluation, ensuring children receive appropriate fever reducers, hydration, and rest.
Asthma and allergies
Asthma and allergies can significantly affect a child’s life. Involving our specialists, our pediatricians help identify triggers and create personalized management plans to effectively control symptoms.
Treating pimples, skin rashes, and infections
Skin issues, such as acne and rashes, require careful assessment. Our pediatricians work together with our dermatologist to offer personalized skincare advice and treatments, helping children feel confident and comfortable.
Managing gastrointestinal problems
Bloating, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal problems can disrupt a child’s day. Our team assesses and evaluates symptoms, recommending dietary adjustments, hydration strategies, and treatments to enhance digestive health.
Treating ear, nose, and throat conditions
Ear infections and sore throats are common among children. With our ear, nose, and throat specialist, our pediatricians can provide effective treatments, ensuring that children receive the care they need to recover quickly and return to their daily activities.
Our pediatric services also include a range of pediatric specialties to ensure comprehensive, effective treatment tailored to each child’s needs.
Additional Pediatric Services
Age-appropriate comprehensive examinations foster a healthy lifestyle from an early age. These allow you to keep track of your child’s growth and development while ensuring they are protected against serious illnesses.
Additionally, lactation consultancy provides support if feeding is difficult or your baby struggles to latch. Understand what’s going on and get guidance on the next steps, with advice tailored to you and your baby.
Well-Child-Check
Regular, thorough pediatric checkups are essential for monitoring your child's health, addressing concerns about growth and development, and providing necessary immunizations.
School Physical Examination
Make sure your child is healthy before starting school. Schools require this as part of the entry procedure and periodically thereafter, usually every three years.
Lactation Consultancy
Dr. Erika Bodnár, our pediatrician and internationally certified lactation consultant, can assist with breastfeeding concerns, including latch difficulties, milk supply issues, or nipple pain.
Immunizations
Immunization is crucial for safeguarding children’s health from birth through adolescence. Vaccines provide essential protection against a range of infectious diseases, supporting the overall well-being and development of our young patients.
Our pediatricians ensure timely vaccinations for children according to their age or other purposes at our official vaccination center:
- the age-specific mandatory childhood vaccinations specified by the National Center for Public Health and Pharmaceuticals in Hungary,
- seasonal flu vaccine,
- vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) spread by ticks,
- travel vaccinations,
- and more
