Children's Health


Newborn and Infant Care

Hout Bay Family Medical Clinic provides caring medical support for newborns and infants, including routine check-ups, feeding concerns, minor illnesses and general health monitoring. Our doctors work closely with parents to support healthy development and identify any concerns that may require further assessment.

Childhood Illnesses

We diagnose and treat common childhood illnesses such as fever, coughs, colds, sore throats, stomach bugs and viral infections. Our doctors provide age-appropriate treatment, practical guidance for parents and clear advice on when follow-up care may be needed.

Growth and Developmental Assessments

Hout Bay Family Medical Clinic offers growth and developmental assessments to monitor a child’s physical, social and emotional progress. These consultations can help identify developmental delays, growth concerns or other issues that may benefit from early support or specialist referral.

Childhood Vaccinations

We provide routine childhood vaccinations to help protect babies and children against preventable diseases. Our doctors can review vaccination records, advise parents on recommended immunisations and assist with catch-up schedules where necessary.

School Medicals

Our practice offers school medical examinations for enrolment, sports participation and general health requirements. These assessments may include a review of medical history, vision, hearing, growth, development and overall fitness.

Asthma and Allergies

Hout Bay Family Medical Clinic provides ongoing care for children with asthma, allergies, wheezing, hay fever and recurring respiratory symptoms. Our doctors can assess triggers, review medication and inhaler use, and develop a practical management plan for home and school.

Skin Conditions

We diagnose and treat common childhood skin conditions, including eczema, rashes, fungal infections, impetigo and allergic reactions. Our doctors can identify the likely cause, recommend suitable treatment and provide advice on managing recurring symptoms.

Ear Infections

We treat ear infections, ear pain, blocked ears and related symptoms in babies and children. A medical examination can help determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment, pain relief and follow-up care.

Behavioural and Emotional Concerns

Our doctors provide a supportive first point of care for behavioural, emotional and developmental concerns affecting children. We can assess changes in mood, sleep, attention or behaviour and arrange further support or specialist referral where appropriate.
