Pediatric Care

Best Paediatrician in Mumbai

Every parent wishes that their child is forever in the pink of health. Their mental and physical well-being is their first and foremost concern. That is why parents carefully look for paediatricians that they can trust and rely on to take care of their child's health.

A good paediatrician is patient and kind. Their dedication to their craft and incredible work ethic, working to provide the best service to children and adolescents is always commendable. They understand the thoughts and psyche of a child and often know the common issues and problems they face. Even when a child cannot communicate their feelings, a paediatrician is experienced enough to understand these issues. Another trait of a good paediatrician is patience. Children are fussy and mischievous and yet paediatricians can deal with these and quickly diagnose them. It results in immediate treatment which helps nip any issues they may have in the bud itself. They have several attributes that make them ideal for childcare, such as -

  • Specialisation in children’s health
  • They have lots of experience and can easily recognize children's illnesses
  • How to deal with premature babies and their health conditions
  • Controlling the spread of infection in young children
  • Prescribing the right medicines that are age-appropriate

A good paediatrician is observant and vigilant, as well as, intelligent and persistent, which is a great help to them in their career in treating their patient. They even observe the subtle changes in the kid's moods and behaviour and change treatments accordingly. All children-specific illnesses are studied and treated by these medical practitioners.

It was the night of 23rd September 2021.26th week was going on. When Bhumi started feeling mild pains. We ignored it assuming it was cramps and baby kicking inside but slowly the intensity increased it seemed like she was going into labour. We rushed her to the hospital, and she was medicated to relax the uterus but destiny had other things in mind for us. We prayed for healthy babies at week 32 but our time had come, 24th September Bhumi bravely faced the pains and the contractions in the induction ward, Dr.Datar checked her and informed us that she has gone into labour but required C-Section delivery since it was high-risk pregnancy and babies were extreme premature. We were worried and confused since she was in labour whether to go for normal delivery or C Section, but then we had many queries about the health of babies and mother Ultrasound showed the babies at average weight of 800 grams. Then walked in the Hero of the Story. The Saviour. The Warrior. The Angel. Dr. PIYUSH SHAH. He calmly and patiently explained us each and everything and answered all our queries satisfactorily. He said at 26 weeks and 800 grams we have a good chance of survival. We decided for C Delivery. Prayers had started for us since long back Dr. Piyush first time gave his trademark reply "Fingers Crossed". Later in the night she was prepped for the LSCS Operation. We prayed a lot that whole day and then at night around 10.15 pm she was taken inside the OT...We met Dr. Tanushree for the first time just before the operation where she briefed us about few things. Our first Miracle Baby arrived at 11.07 pm Doctor exclaimed "it's a Girl" at 840 grams...I heard the cry and my heart started beating, as the baby was very tiny, she was immediately transferred to the NICU. The Indian Cricket Team may have 5 different coaches but that day I had team of more than 10 -12 personnel to bring our babies in this world, Dhaval got a chance to get a glimpse of the babies, then it was second baby at 11.08 pm "it's a boy" at 780 grams and then at 11.10 pm "it's a girl" at 740 grams, our 3 babies had arrived prematurely but ready to fight, survive, and win the battle. A big thanks to Dr. Piyush for playing the Jain Stotra, Bhaktamar Stotra and Navkar Mahamantra at time of delivery in the Operation Theatre truly obliged to him for that and it was also played 24*7 in the NICU for their whole stay, it was one and first of the many deeds he did for us and many more were to come. The babies were shifted to NICU and they were so tiny that 1 square foot of cloth was sufficient to cover them. That day 24th Night, Dr Piyush and the Team was there with our kids till 4 am and next day he was back at 7 am, he was looking after our kids and we were sleeping peacefully. It was the start of our Roller Coaster Journey of 57 Days which will be etched in our hearts forever. We would daily visit the kids, ups and downs started in the initial days, 2-3 days after admitting in NICU there were issues with the closure of small hole in the heart which was later cured in around 10 days, and slowly their feed and weight started increasing. They were on ventilator (incubated) till 8 days and then on NIV for 7 days and then on CPap for next 30 days. Initially feed was provided through tube inserted through the abdomen and later through the mouth. Dr. Piyush was very supportive and inspiring for Bhumi to give her milk for the kids which boosted their immunity. First time we were informed that one of the kid required blood and plasma, we were very frightened but then later explained that it is normal and not to be worried about. As slowly weight started increasing, we cheered for our babies when they crossed small-small milestones of 1 kg, 1.5 kg, 10ml ,15 ml, 20 ml feeds. We saw our fighter babies pass through each obstacle from Ventilator to NIV to CPap to Free Flow to Normal breathing. Every day they were creating new memories and hopes for us. From the critical care area to normal area to ready for discharge area. It was a tremendous feat for which Dr. Piyush had said that Bhumi is like the Queen of the Chess Game and everything was in her hands . These words were very motivating whenever we were tensed, upset or any ups and downs, he and Dr. Tanushree too motivated us always to stay positive which was very helpful for us. 2-3 times our children were given blood transfusion to maintain the haemoglobin levels. One of our baby was diagnosed with a small blood patch in the brain during the head scan but it was a minor issue and resolved on its own. Then came the day when Bhumi first time took the baby in her hands for KMC it was the day which made her a complete as a mother.it was a satisfying moment for her to hug the child, talk to them, give her warmth, love and all the affection, she truly enjoyed those moments and the small kicking and holding acts done by the kids, later she started taking both the kids for KMC and almost was at the hospital for full day with the kids. She was given proper training of handling the babies by the very helpful NICU Team of sisters which helped her a lot and gave her the courage to confidently handle the babies. Later on the kids also underwent ROP (Eye Scan) and one of the baby had reached Stage 2 of ROP, again that time Dr Piyush told us not to worry unless I call you, the baby required Laser Treatment which was very well handled by Dr Rohit and NICU Team. After numerous x-rays, eye check-ups, blood reports, anti-biotics, sonography, medicines, breathing support our babies made it out of the NICU totally healthy, safe and sound, and there were tears of joy in our hands when we took babies in our hand. The surreal feeling cannot be described. The Nurse Team and the Mausi team took great care of our kids Day and Night. On our every visit to the NICU we had observed all sisters extremely alert, highly disciplined and professional in approach, they work untiringly for all the kids and took equal care of all the kids, hats-off to each one of them for and big thanks for everything. Today we understand when we are writing this feedback around 20 days after discharge when we are with the kids how much efforts go in this thing. The care team lead by Dr Piyush made it very easy for us for the future, trained us well to take care of such small, pre matured babies after discharge, to feed them, change nappies, giving meds through droppers each and every minute thing was conveyed to us. All the credit goes to Dr Piyush, Dr Tanushree, On Call Doctors Dr Farah, Dr Nidhi, Dr Kaustubh, Dr Deepa, Dr Ankush, The Nurse Army (the true caretakers of our babies) Neha Sister, Ashita S, Bincy S, Sonali S, Deepti S, Amala S, Nikita S, Elena S, Diksha S, Pooja S, Rashmi S, Ankita S, Gincy S and Josmi S. Also thanks to all the 3 mausi - Anu, Farzana and Shabnam for all their untiring services for the kids. Our family thanks them for everything and are truly obliged to them.

How are Neural Tube Defects diagnosed and treated? I Dr Tanushri Mukherjee
"We can diagnose neural tube defect really fast. Early in the second trimester, we do the maternal serum alfafetoprotein level in the routine triple test . If the maternal alfafetoprotein levels are much higher say 2 to 2.5 times higher then the baby affected with neural tube defect are very high. That we can diagnose and subsequently confirm with amniotic fluid test also. In amniotic fluid, we can test by the acetylcoline esterase. That also gives us an idea about whether the baby has neural tube defects or no. The second diagnosis from the further ultrasonography. If we do a detailed ultrasonography, in the second trimester, almost 90 to 95% of the open neural tube defects can be diagnosed on the sonography. The treatment of the neural tube defect starts from the prevention of neural tube defects. As we know that folic acid is the magic bullet, if we start the folic acid in the mothers, we can prevent the mothers from having a neural tube defect affected pregnancy and once the neural tube defect happens, there is no cure for that baby. That we can do is we can treat the baby and we can prevent the complications of neural tube defect. Suppose if the baby is born with a spina bifida defect, then we have to take the baby immediately for the surgery to close the defect. Otherwise it can get infected and that can lead to their morbidity. If the baby is having some tethered cord. There the cord is attached to the lower part of the spinal cord and as the babies grow, the nerve fibers get stretched and the baby can get more and more symptoms with that. Here we have to surgically release the cord so that the baby can get rid of the symptoms. Other common complications of neural tube defect is a hydrocephalus. Here there is a collection of the CSF or the brain fluid surrounding the parenchyma and to treat hydrocephalus, most of the times you have to put a shunt in the babies head and, it is just nothing but a small tubes in the babies head that we have to put a shunt in the babies head and that drains the surrounding fluid. Another most common thing that we see in these type of babies is a there is a lot of difficulty in the ambulation and the mobility. So they need lots of support in the form of braces, crutches, wheelchairs, lot of physiotherapy , family support for these babies for the actual morbidity. Last but not the least, we now that these babies have some urinary retention and urinary tract infection. So there are bladder surgeries that we can do in these babies to help the bay to make them continent as well as they need multiple catheterization to present them socially acceptable and many of the times we have to give them antibiotics so that urinary tract infection can be prevented and kidney damage can be prevented in an earlier stage"
What are the symptoms of Neural Tube Defects? I Dr. Tanushri Mukherjee
"The symptoms of the neural tube defect depends on the severity of the disease. If my baby is having anencephaly, most of the times the baby is not born alive. So those are the very severe form of neural tube defect. But luckily most of the time what we seek is a spina bifida. In spina bifida there is a defect in the vertebral column and depending on the level of the defect, the baby will present with multiple symptoms. It can be paralysis of the whole upper limb and lower limb. Because it is affecting the nerve tissue, the baby can have some urinary complaint or stool retention or incontinence of stool. If the lesion is higher up, it can lead to deafness, blindness, as well as it can lead to some developmental delay. Sometimes spina bifida patient can have urinary tract infection because of the urinary incontinence they can have multiple urinary tract infections and that can lead to damage of the kidneys"
Who is at risk for Neural Tube Defect? I Dr. Tanushri Mukherjee
"Neural tube defect is a multifactorial disease. So any lady who is getting pregnant or who is capable of getting pregnant, can have neural tube defect, but there are certainly some risk factors. The most important if you have a previous pregnancy which is affected with neural tube defect, then subsequent chance of neural tube defect increases. If I have one baby who is having neural tube defect then my chance will be around 5% . If I have 2 babies who is having neural tube defect, then my subsequent risk increase upto almost 10 to 20%. Right now we are having lot of lifestyle diseases like diabetes, obesity. Both of them are associated with neural tube defect. Sometimes if the mother is having some fits or seizure disorders, and if she is taking some medications, like valproic acid or carbamazepine, in the first trimester, that can also lead to neural tube defect in the baby and sometimes a simple thing like high grade fever, that can also lead to neural tube defect and the last is the ladies who are from lower socioeconomic status, mainly due to the poor nutrition, poor folic acid, they can also lead to neural tube defect in the babies"
Are Neural Tube Defects common? How do you prevent Neural Tube Defects? I Dr. Tanushri Mukherjee
"Neural tube defect are quite common. Previously it was almost 5 to 6 % per thousand live births. The overall prevalence of neural tube defect is around 1 to 2 per thousand live births but in India it is 4 to 5 per thousand live births. For prevention of neural tube defect, the magic drug is folic acid. Before folic acid was there, the incidence of neural tube defects was very high, it started in the 1990’s and after that the incidence of neural tube defect has drastically came down. So for folci acid it is ideal that any lady who is in the reproductive age group, they should take folic acid enriched diet. In the diet she can either take the folic acid enriched breakfast cereals, or if available in the bread, pasta, regular food items, or she can take folic acid rich foods like orange juice and green leafy vegetables. If you are not comfortable to take that, then you have to take some tablets, if your gynecologist will prescribe you the folic acid capsules. If it is a planned pregnancy, you should start taking folic acid tablets when you are planning. Ideally it should be 1 month before your conception and you should continue folic acid till the first trimester. So the research has shown that if you have taken folic acid one month prior to conception, and it continues to first trimester then the chances of neural tube defect can reduce upto 50 to 70%"
What are the types of Neural Tube Defects? I Dr. Tanushri Mukherjee
"Neural tube defect is one of the most common birth defect in the babies that is affecting the brain, the spinal tissue as well as the spinal column. That happens very early in the pregnancy, and most of the time if the pregnancy is unplanned, the woman doesn’t know that she is pregnant, we can classify the neural tube defects in two ways. The open neural tube defect or the closed neural tube defect depending on whether this neural tissue is exposed from outside or not. In open neural tube defect the most common is spina bifida. Here there is a protrusion from the lower part of the vertebral column from the lower part of the vertebral column from the defect and through that either the meninges or part of the spinal tissue can be protruded. The second most common thing is anencephaly, but this is the most severe form of neural tube defect. Here a part of the skull and the brain tissue is absent, and most of the times the babies who have anencepahy are not compatible with life. So the babies either die in utero or immediately post delivery. Third common is the encephalocele. Here a part of the brain tissue is protruded just blew the vertebra in the back of the neck. The closed neural tube defect as the name suggests is covered with a membrane or skin tissue or epithelium. Here from outside we can see a tuft of hairs, or there may be swelling over that area or sometimes there can be hemangioma or dilated blood vessels that you can see. These are the neurocutaneous markers or signatures that the baby can have. Sometimes even the gluteal fold can be abnormally placed"
How important is immediate care in Premature Babies? Dr. Piyush Sureshkumar Shah
"Any preterm baby born, requires immediate care with warmth and breathing. This would determine long lasting effects on the baby, this would determine life and death for the baby. So immediate care requires the baby to be kept warm. So when we receive the baby, we receive the baby in plastic wraps so that the temperature of the baby can be maintained. These days to help the bay breathe we are using CPAP that helps to maintain the breathing of the child and depending upon how the baby’s efforts are the baby may need ventilator support. So the immediate care as we call as the golden hour of the baby would count the long term outcome of the baby. So delivering the baby in an NICU care is available would determine the outcome"
