While infants are protected from certain diseases at birth because of\n antibodies passed from the mother, this protection is temporary. \nImmunization from these diseases can be achieved through vaccination \nshots, which use small amounts of killed or weakened microorganisms that\n cause the diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the vaccines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different warts respond to different treatments. Some go away on their own. Salicylic acid products (in the form of drops, gels, pads and bandages) can help self-treatment of many warts by dissolving the keratin protein that makes up the wart and the dead skin above it. Others can be removed via liquid nitrogen freezing or electrical stimulation. Surgery may be recommended for painful or large warts that do not respond to these treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Incision and drainage, or I & D, is commonly used to treat \nabscesses or other fluid-filled lesions on the skin that do not respond \nto antibiotics or other more conservative treatments. During this \nprocedure, a scalpel or needle is inserted into the lesion to drain the \npus or fluid within. A piece of gauze is then placed so that the lesion \ncan continue to drain and heal properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KidMed & Wellness Exams A wellness exam is an annual comprehensive exam which includes growth, development and vaccines.
