Pediatrics in Hannam-dong, Seoul, Korea

I visited because I had a sore throat and a cold. The doctor is a woman, but she’s a bit curt. The nurses are friendly. I also got a flu shot, but I think it was about 5,000 won more expensive than at other hospitals. The facilities are clean, and there aren’t many patients, so the wait is short.

My 6-year-old daughter suddenly had a high fever reaching nearly 40 degrees and showed symptoms of fatigue, so I was worried and went to the Digestive Clinic. She was very sensitive because she was sick, but from the registration to the consultation, the medical staff treated her calmly at her level, which helped her relax a lot. After the examination, she was diagnosed with the flu, and since her symptoms were severe, they recommended intravenous treatment, which we started right away. They continuously checked on her condition while she was receiving the IV, which eased my mind, and surprisingly, she handled it well. After the IV treatment, her fever noticeably dropped that evening, and by the next day, she was recovering quickly enough to eat a little, which really surprised me. They explained the medication instructions and home care in detail, which made me feel confident, and overall, I was very satisfied with the flu treatment for my child.
