Pediatric Pain Score

The Pediatric Pain Score is a tool used by healthcare providers to assess how much pain a child is experiencing. It considers various factors like the child's expressions of discomfort, physical reactions, and verbal reports. Depending on the child's age and ability to communicate, different scoring systems are used to accurately gauge pain levels. This helps doctors and nurses decide the best course of treatment to manage the child's pain effectively and comfortably. The goal is to ensure that the child feels safe, understood, and properly cared for during medical care.
