Pain management in pediatric patients involves using age-appropriate methods to alleviate pain while considering the child's developmental stage. It combines pharmacological treatments, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or opioids (for more severe pain), with non-pharmacological techniques like distraction, relaxation, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Effective management requires careful dosing, monitoring for side effects, and a multidisciplinary approach, often involving healthcare providers, nurses, and child specialists. The primary goal is to ensure the child's comfort, reduce anxiety, and improve their overall well-being during painful experiences.
