Sick Child & Emergency Care

Dr. Diana Sáenz – Pediatrician

Sick Child and Emergency Visits

When a child shows concerning symptoms or needs urgent attention, timely evaluation is essential. I provide pediatric care for acute illnesses and emergencies, offering accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatment.

I care for resident families in Nicoya and Guanacaste, as well as tourists who need quick, high-quality medical attention during their visit.

Acute Symptom Evaluation

I carefully assess symptoms such as high fever, breathing difficulty, vomiting, diarrhea, or general discomfort. My goal is to quickly identify the cause and provide a clear diagnosis that allows for proper treatment—avoiding complications and bringing peace of mind to the family.

Treatment of Common Illnesses

I treat frequent conditions such as respiratory infections, ear infections, gastroenteritis, and urinary infections. I clearly explain medical recommendations, home care instructions, and warning signs to help parents safely support their child’s recovery.

Pediatric Emergency Care

In emergencies such as severe breathing issues, dehydration, or seizures, I provide rapid and professional care.

I determine whether the child can be treated on-site or needs immediate referral to a nearby hospital—always ensuring the best possible care.

Guidance and Follow-up

After each visit, I give families clear and specific instructions for managing the child’s recovery at home.

I also provide close follow-up to monitor progress and ensure the child recovers safely, minimizing the risk of complications.
