Diagnosis of childhood diseases often involves several steps:
1. Clinical Examination: Pediatricians perform a thorough physical examination and take a detailed medical history. 2. Laboratory Tests: Blood tests, throat swabs, and urine tests can identify infections and other conditions. 3. Imaging Studies: X-rays, MRI, and ultrasound help diagnose structural abnormalities and internal issues. 4. Genetic Testing: For suspected genetic disorders, tests like chromosomal analysis and DNA testing are used.
