When bringing your child to their Annual Physical Appointment, it is important to be prepared to ensure a thorough and productive visit. Bring a list of all medications your child is currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements. This helps the healthcare provider review any potential interactions or side effects. Additionally, bring your child’s vaccination records, especially if they have received vaccinations outside of the primary care provider’s office.

If your child has had any recent medical tests, procedures, or visits to specialists, bring those records as well. This information can help the provider get a complete picture of your child’s health. It’s also helpful to write down any questions or concerns you have about your child’s health, growth, or development so you can discuss them during the appointment.

Finally, bring any forms that need to be completed for school, sports, or other activities, as these can often be addressed during the annual physical.
