pediatric pain

Pediatric pain refers to discomfort or suffering experienced by children from various causes, such as injuries, illnesses, or medical procedures. Children's pain can differ from adults because their nervous systems are still developing, and they may have difficulty expressing how they feel. Recognizing and managing pain effectively is important to help children recover, reduce anxiety, and promote overall well-being. Healthcare providers use age-appropriate tools and communication styles to assess and treat pain, ensuring children receive compassionate and effective care tailored to their needs.
