Dr. Parang Mehta
Pediatrician (Child Specialist)
Surat, Gujarat, India

I practice as a primary care pediatrician in Surat, Gujarat, India. A pediatrician is the best type of doctor to take care of your baby and child. I look after children from birth to their fourteenth birthday. I try to keep them healthy, and treat them if they do fall sick.

I am available for consultation Monday to Saturday.

I qualified as a pediatrician in 1988, and started Mehta Childcare in Surat in 1990. In 2020, my practice completed 30 years.

A Pediatrician's Role

That would be the ideal situation, of course.

Your child is always healthy, and never needs to visit a pediatrician for treatment. Next best is that your doctor makes an instant diagnosis and cures within minutes with some wonderful drugs.

Sadly, that's not me. I need some time to talk to you and understand the problem, and then some more time to examine the child and make a diagnosis. When writing the prescription, I prefer safe drugs over strong ones for most illnesses.

Publications and Research

What's a doctor without R&P (research and publications)? Most medical articles are usually technical and tedious, but if you're incurably curious, go ahead, see the list.

This site offers information about babies and children -- their care, treatment, diseases, illnesses, and other medical concerns. It is meant only to satisfy the information needs of parents about their children's health, diseases, vaccination, and related subjects. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy of the material about diseases, illnesses, and treatment, the author accepts no responsibility for, and certainly does not recommend, the use of this information for the treatment of sick children.

No information available on this web page, or on others, can replace the examination and treatment by an expert doctor or pediatrician. It is not sensible to try to diagnose your child's disease off a web page (or from a book), and if your child is acutely ill, it is best to go to a hospital immediately.

The advice to stay home has saved millions of people from the infection, but it has also denied vaccination to millions of children. This has exposed babies to the risk of some very dangerous diseases.

Zika Virus

The Zika virus was known to occur sporadically in Africa and Asia.  Like HIV and Chikungunya, this virus has suddenly spread to new parts of the world, affecting thousands/millions of people and giving rise to a public health emergency.

Though the actual disease is a mild one, it is dangerous for a pregnant woman.  Zika virus infection in pregnancy can infect the fetus, causing miscarriage, or birth defects (commonly, microcephaly).
