Desiree T. Silva is a paediatrician based in Perth, WA. Her practice is at 15 Hospital Ave, Perth, WA 6009, Australia. She looks after babies, kids, and young people, with a focus on getting families the help they need in day to day life.
As a paediatrician, Desiree works with children who need support for both common and more serious health issues. This can include attention and behaviour concerns such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), where early guidance can make a big difference for school and home routines.
She also helps families dealing with skin problems, including atopic dermatitis. At times, this can be tough for kids and parents because it may flare up and settle down. She aims to make the plan simple, so families know what to watch for and what steps to take when symptoms change.
Respiratory concerns are another part of her work. Desiree supports children with conditions like infant respiratory distress syndrome and stridor. These are situations where breathing can look or sound different, and getting timely advice matters. She also cares for children affected by viral illnesses, including COVID-19, and provides practical guidance for monitoring symptoms and when to seek more urgent help.
In some cases, care may include children who have had or are suspected to have infections such as SARS. When the situation is serious, parents often feel overwhelmed. Desiree works at a steady pace, explaining what is happening and what care looks like next.
Day to day, she understands that kids are not just small adults. Symptoms can be hard to describe, and changes can happen quickly. Over time, her approach is about listening closely, checking details, and helping families feel clearer and calmer about the next steps.
Education details are not listed here, and there are no specific research or clinical trials shown in the available information. What is clear is that paediatric care needs to stay current, especially when new advice comes out for infections and childhood conditions. Desiree focuses on using up to date guidance and sharing it in a way that families can actually use.
