Paul V. Licciardi is a paediatrician in Parkville, VIC. He works out of 50 Flemington Road, Parkville, which makes it easy for families across Melbourne to get timely care for their children.
As a paediatrician, Paul looks after kids and teens with a wide range of health needs. A big part of his work is about everyday childhood illnesses, especially infections that affect the throat, ears and airways. This can include things like strep throat, flu-like illness, pneumonia, and viral infections such as RSV. He also treats ear infections, including otitis, and helps manage cough and breathing problems in many cases.
Respiratory care is a key focus. Paul sees children with asthma and asthma in children, and he supports families when symptoms flare up or when a child needs a clear plan to breathe easier. At times he also manages more serious infections, where early assessment and steady follow-up matter. Examples from his care include COVID-19, measles, and parainfluenza.
He also helps with skin and growth related problems. Conditions like atopic dermatitis and impetigo can be hard for families to manage day to day, and treatment often needs both medical care and practical home routines. Paul also supports children dealing with malnutrition, working on the basics that help kids get back on track.
In addition to infection and skin concerns, his work can include care related to human papillomavirus infection (HPV) and cancers in children and young people, such as cervical cancer, anal cancer, and vulvar or vaginal cancer. He also deals with specific infections like tetanus and diphtheria, and he manages other illnesses that may need careful attention.
Overall, Paul’s approach is calm and grounded. He’s there to help families understand what’s going on, what the next steps are, and how to keep children safe and comfortable while they recover.
