Colic is a common and distressing condition affecting infants, characterized by intense and prolonged crying, typically occurring in the late afternoon or evening hours.

Hookworms

Human hookworm disease is a common helminth infection that is predominantly caused by the nematode parasites Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale; organisms that play a lesser role include Ancylostoma ceylonicum, Ancylostoma braziliense, and Ancylostoma caninum.

Roundworms (Ascariasis)

Ascariasis (Roundworms) is the name of an infection caused by the roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides; when a worm lives inside the human body, the condition is called a parasitic infection.

Congenital Hypothyroidism

Congenital hypothyroidism is a critical and relatively common endocrine disorder that affects newborns, resulting from an underactive thyroid gland since birth. This condition occurs when the thyroid gland fails to produce an adequate amount of thyroid hormones, essential for normal growth and development.

Strabismus

Strabismus is the inward deviation of the eyes noted before the patient reaches age 6 months. It is associated with maldevelopment of stereopsis, motion processing, and eye movements.

Gastroesophageal Reflux

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is a common and often benign condition that affects people of all ages. It occurs when stomach contents, including acid and digestive enzymes, flow backward into the esophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn and regurgitation.

Enterobiasis

Enterobiasis (also called pinworm, seatworm, or threadworm infection) is a benign intestinal disease caused by the nematode Enterobius vermicularis. It is the most prevalent helminthic infection in the United States. 

Iron Deficiency Anemia

Iron deficiency anemia occurs when the body lacks sufficient iron to produce an adequate amount of hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen in red blood cells. Iron deficiency anemia can lead to fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and other symptoms that affect the individual's daily functioning and overall quality of life.

Congenital Talipes Equinovarus (Clubfoot)

Congenital Talipes Equinovarus, commonly known as clubfoot, is a congenital musculoskeletal deformity affecting the foot and ankle, present at birth. This condition is characterized by an inward and downward twisting of the foot, causing it to appear turned inwards and pointed downwards.
