Dr. Porimol Kumar Das

Dr. Porimol Kumar Das is a Consultant specializing in paediatrics and paediatric cardiology. He completed his MBBS at Dhaka University and holds MD degrees in Paediatrics and Paediatric Cardiology from BMU. His specialties cover children's general health as well as conditions affecting the heart in infants, children and adolescents. Parents concerned about their child's growth, recurring illness or possible heart problems can seek medical assessment to understand the symptoms and appropriate next steps.

Paediatric care involves monitoring a child's growth and development, assessing common illnesses and identifying health concerns that may need further investigation. Children do not always describe their symptoms clearly, so changes in appetite, activity, sleep or behaviour can provide useful clues for parents to share during a consultation. Keeping vaccination records, previous prescriptions and details of recurring symptoms can help the doctor build a clearer picture of the child's health.

Paediatric cardiology focuses on heart conditions that occur during childhood, including congenital heart defects and certain problems involving heart rhythm or function. Signs that may require evaluation include unusual breathlessness during activity, bluish discoloration of the lips, fainting or poor growth alongside feeding difficulties in infants. These symptoms can have different causes, so specialist examination and appropriate investigations are needed before a diagnosis can be made.

Dr. Porimol Kumar Das consults at Padma Diagnostic Center Ltd, Dhaka. Parents visiting with their children may bring previous cardiac reports, echocardiogram results, prescriptions and relevant birth or medical history. They can ask about the purpose of recommended tests, treatment options and the need for follow-up. A child experiencing severe breathing difficulty, fainting or bluish lips should receive urgent medical attention rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
