Q: Could ongoing bloating or gas in my child be caused by SIBO or gut dysbiosis?
A: Yes. In some children and teens, ongoing bloating, gas, abdominal pain, constipation, or diarrhea may be related to SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) or gut dysbiosis. At Covington Pediatrics, Functional and Integrative Medicine in Covington, GA, we take an integrative approach that looks at gut motility, digestion, diet, sleep, stress, and nervous-system regulation. When appropriate, we may recommend targeted evaluation, dietary and lifestyle changes, and carefully selected supplements to help restore gut balance and improve long-term comfort.

What is your approach to constipation, diarrhea, and gut issues in children and teens ?

At Covington Pediatrics, Functional and Integrative Medicine in Covington, GA, we take a comprehensive, integrative approach to constipation, diarrhea, IBS, and other gut issues in children and teens. Rather than treating symptoms alone, we look for underlying contributors such as diet, hydration, gut motility, stress, sleep, and nervous system regulation. When appropriate, we may recommend a more detailed evaluation, targeted dietary and lifestyle changes, mindset support, and nutritional supplements. Our goal is to help children feel better long term by supporting gut–brain health, improving comfort, and restoring healthy digestion in a thoughtful, evidence-based way.

Q: How do you monitor growth and development and screen for delays in children in Covington, GA?

A: At Covington Pediatrics, Functional and Integrative Medicine , we closely monitor children’s growth and development at every well-child visit from infancy through adolescence. We use American Academy of Pediatrics–recommended developmental screening tools to assess speech, motor skills, social development, and autism risk at appropriate ages. If concerns arise, we take a proactive, integrative approach that may include referrals for speech, occupational, or physical therapy, as well as additional supportive therapies. Our goal is early identification, early support, and helping each child reach their full potential.

A: At Covington Pediatrics, Functional and Integrative Medicine , we provide nutrition and lifestyle counseling at every well-child and teen visit from birth through age 21 for families in Newton, Rockdale, Walton and Jasper counties. Our pediatricians support families with infant feeding, picky eating in toddlers, balanced nutrition and healthy routines for school-aged children, and practical guidance for teens around sleep, stress, physical activity, and emotional health. Our approach is evidence-based, realistic, and family-centered. When medically indicated, we also offer individualized dietary plans to support specific health needs. Our goal is to help children and teens in the Covington area build healthy habits that support growth, development, and long-term wellness.

Q: Do you treat sleep issues, anxiety, and mood concerns in children and adolescents?
A: Yes. We regularly help children and teens with sleep problems, anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. These issues are common — and very real — and we take them seriously. Our approach starts with listening and understanding the whole child, including sleep patterns, stress levels, daily routines, and overall health. We combine evidence-based pediatric and mental health care with integrative strategies that support nervous system regulation, healthy sleep, and emotional resilience. Therapy and medication are used thoughtfully when appropriate, never as a one-size-fits-all solution. Our goal is to help children feel better, function better, and help parents feel supported every step of the way.

Q: How does your clinic approach ADHD beyond medication in Georgia?
A: At Covington Pediatrics, Functional and Integrative Medicine, we take an integrative and functional approach to ADHD for children and teens across Georgia. In addition to medication when appropriate, we focus on identifying nutritional deficiencies, malabsorption, gut health issues, and environmental factors that affect brain function through the gut–brain pathway. Our goal is to support brain health biologically so children with ADHD can function better in daily life.

01/02/2026

Q: How do you approach acute illnesses such as ear infections, viral illnesses, and asthma flares?
A: We treat common childhood illnesses such as ear, throat, and sinus infections, viral illnesses, asthma flares, and rashes using an evidence-based, thoughtful approach. Each visit starts with a careful exam to determine whether an illness is viral or bacterial and whether medication is truly needed. We prescribe antibiotics and other medications when appropriate, while also providing clear guidance on supportive care, symptom relief, and warning signs. Our integrative approach combines standard pediatric guidelines with whole-child care to support safe recovery and reduce repeat illness when possible.

Q: Do you offer school sports physicals and college physicals?
A: Yes. We offer school sports physicals and college physicals for children, teens, and young adults. In most cases, these are completed as part of the annual well-child or adolescent visit, which allows for a more comprehensive, preventive approach. If timing or school requirements don’t align with your child’s yearly checkup, we can also complete them as stand-alone visits when appropriate. We help families navigate forms, deadlines, and requirements so students can participate safely in sports and be prepared for school or college.

12/30/2025

Q: Do you follow the standard vaccine schedule or offer alternatives?
A: Yes. We are a vaccinating pediatric practice and follow the standard immunization schedule recommended by ACIP and the CDC. We also recognize that families may have questions or prefer a different pace. For those families, we offer individualized vaccine counseling and, when appropriate, alternative schedules that are discussed in detail. Our approach is collaborative and evidence-based — we explain benefits, risks, and timing so parents can make informed decisions for their children. The goal is safety, trust, and long-term engagement in care, not pressure or judgment.

How does integrative medicine apply to well-baby, well-child, and adolescent visits?
Integrative pediatric visits still follow standard medical guidelines for growth, development, vaccines, and screenings—but they go a step further. In addition to checking milestones, integrative care looks at nutrition, sleep, stress, emotional health, and environmental factors that influence a child’s long-term well-being. These visits tend to be more personalized and prevention-focused, with time for parent questions and age-appropriate conversations with teens. The goal isn’t to replace conventional medicine, but to blend evidence-based care with whole-child, root-cause thinking that supports healthier kids from infancy through adolescence.
