How it's used
Parents often refer to this specialist simply as 兒科, omitting the word for doctor when discussing appointments. While the term is formal enough for medical settings, it is used naturally in casual conversation when discussing family health. It is common to add the particle 嘅 to specify the doctor's clinic or specialty.
