Dr. Anastasiia Shalko is a general practitioner with a background in both paediatrics and general medicine. She graduated from Bogomolets National Medical University in Kyiv and completed her paediatric internship at the P.L. Shupyk National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education. After working as a paediatrician in Kyiv, she relocated to Spain, where she has been practising general medicine since 2015, providing care for both adults and children.

Her work focuses on urgent, short-term medical concerns – situations where patients need quick guidance, symptom assessment and clear next steps. She helps people understand whether their symptoms require in-person evaluation, home management or a change in treatment. Common reasons for booking an online consultation include:

  • acute respiratory symptoms (cough, sore throat, runny nose, fever)
  • viral illnesses such as colds and seasonal infections
  • gastrointestinal complaints (nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, gastroenteritis)
  • sudden changes in how a child or adult feels
  • questions about existing treatment and whether adjustments are needed
  • renewal of prescriptions when clinically appropriate
Dr. Shalko works specifically with urgent and short-term problems, providing practical recommendations and helping patients determine the safest next step. She explains symptoms clearly, guides patients through decision-making and offers straightforward medical advice for everyday acute issues.

She does not provide long-term management of chronic conditions, ongoing follow-up or comprehensive care plans for complex long-term illnesses. Her consultations are designed for acute symptoms, sudden concerns and situations where timely medical input is important.

With clinical experience in both paediatrics and general medicine, Dr. Shalko confidently supports adults and children. Her communication style is clear, simple and reassuring, helping patients feel informed and supported throughout the consultation.

Paediatricians for children’s health, symptoms, and ongoing care

What paediatricians treat, which child health symptoms lead to a consultation, and when follow-up is needed

What a paediatrician does

What a paediatrician does

A paediatrician focuses on children’s health from infancy through adolescence. This includes common childhood illnesses, growth and development, and a wide range of medical concerns affecting babies, toddlers, children, and teenagers.

Children often present symptoms differently from adults. A paediatrician evaluates symptoms in an age-appropriate clinical context, taking into account development, weight, and typical childhood patterns.

Parents usually consult a paediatrician for new symptoms, recurring concerns, or issues that affect feeding, sleep, activity, or school attendance. Some conditions are short-lived, while others require longer monitoring.

Paediatrics often includes preventive care and follow-up. Many child health problems benefit from continuity, especially when symptoms return or evolve.

A paediatrician also helps determine when a child needs assessment by another specialist or urgent care.

Common child health symptoms and reasons to book

Common child health symptoms and reasons to book

Fever is one of the most common reasons for paediatric consultation, particularly when it persists, recurs, or comes with other symptoms.

Respiratory symptoms such as cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, or recurring colds often lead parents to seek paediatric input.

Digestive symptoms, including vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, or feeding difficulties, are also frequent reasons for consultation.

Skin issues such as rashes, eczema flares, or unexplained itching often require evaluation in children.

Behavioural and sleep changes, ongoing fatigue, or reduced appetite can signal underlying illness and should be assessed when persistent.

Ongoing paediatric care and chronic conditions

Ongoing paediatric care and chronic conditions

Many paediatric problems require follow-up, not only acute care. Asthma, allergies, eczema, recurrent infections, and some digestive conditions often need ongoing management.

Long-term paediatric care supports monitoring of symptoms and development over time. Treatment approaches may need adjustment as children grow.

Medication management is part of paediatrics when clinically appropriate, with dosing and safety tailored to age and weight.

Some conditions improve with time, while others fluctuate. Regular follow-up helps reduce disruption to daily family life.

Continuity can be especially valuable for families new to a healthcare system, where medical history may be spread across different providers.

How paediatric assessment works

How paediatric assessment works

A paediatric consultation involves structured clinical evaluation. The paediatrician considers symptom onset, duration, severity, and how the child is behaving overall.

Medical history, growth patterns, and previous illnesses are important for diagnosis. Family context, including exposures at nursery or school, may also matter.

Many childhood conditions have overlapping symptoms. Paediatric assessment helps differentiate common viral illnesses from conditions requiring closer attention.

Assessment also determines urgency. Some situations can be monitored, while others need prompt in-person care.

Accurate evaluation supports safe and appropriate care for children.

When paediatrics may not be enough

When paediatrics may not be enough

Although paediatricians cover a wide range of childhood problems, some symptoms require urgent assessment. Breathing difficulty, dehydration, persistent lethargy, seizures, or severe allergic reactions require immediate medical attention.

Paediatricians also identify when a child should be evaluated by other specialists, depending on the clinical picture.

Some symptoms may be related to surgical, neurological, or mental health issues and need specialist pathways.

Recognising these boundaries is part of responsible paediatric care.

Knowing when to seek paediatric advice and when urgent help is needed is essential for child safety.
