Pain Management
Pain management in children is an essential part of paediatric care, aimed at reducing pain, anxiety, and discomfort during illness, surgery, and medical procedures. It involves a combination of appropriate medications, regional anaesthesia, and non-pharmacological techniques such as distraction, relaxation, and emotional support.
The goal is to ensure effective pain relief, promote faster recovery, and improve the overall comfort and well-being of every child.
