Consultant Pediatric Gastroenterologist & Hepatologis
Dr. Muhammad Bilal Khan is a Consultant Pediatric Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist at KidsCare International Hospital, Saidpur Road, Rawalpindi. He treats children whose problems sit in the stomach, intestines, liver or pancreas — the kind of complaints that often drag on for months before a family finally gets a clear answer. Long-standing pait dard (abdominal pain), stubborn constipation, repeated vomiting, poor weight gain, blood in the stool, chronic diarrhoea and yellow eyes that will not settle are conditions he sees every week in children from Rawalpindi, Islamabad and across Pakistan.
A large part of pediatric gastroenterology is finding the exact cause instead of treating symptoms again and again. At KidsCare International Hospital, Dr.Bilal performs upper GI endoscopy, colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy and endoscopic biopsy for children, along with therapeutic procedures such as foreign body removal (a swallowed coin, button battery or magnet), esophageal dilatation, variceal band ligation, endoscopic sclerotherapy, PEG tube placement and liver biopsy. All procedures use child-sized equipment and are backed by the hospital’s PICU, NICU and diagnostic facility, so even sick or very young children can be managed under one roof.
Dr. Bilal Khan treats stomach, intestine, liver and pancreas problems in children — including long-lasting abdominal pain, constipation, chronic diarrhoea, vomiting and acid reflux, blood in the stool, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, hepatitis, prolonged jaundice, fatty liver, pancreatitis, poor weight gain and malnutrition. He also manages children who need feeding support or tube feeding.
A general child specialist treats all common childhood illnesses. A pediatric gastroenterologist has extra fellowship training focused only on the digestive system and liver, and is trained to perform endoscopy and colonoscopy on children. So if a child has a stomach or liver problem that keeps coming back, or has not improved with normal treatment, a pediatric gastroenterologist like Dr. Bilal Khan is the right doctor to see.
Yes, and this should be treated as urgent. Dr. Bilal Khan performs endoscopic foreign body removal, which takes the object out through the mouth without any cut or open surgery. A swallowed button battery is a medical emergency and must be removed as soon as possible, so bring the child to the KCIH emergency straight away rather than waiting for clinic hours.
Yes. Newborn jaundice that lasts longer than 14 days needs proper testing, because it can be a sign of a liver or bile duct problem rather than normal newborn jaundice. Dr. Bilal Khan, as a pediatric hepatologist, investigates prolonged jaundice and cholestasis in babies and starts treatment early — which matters a lot for the long-term health of the liver.
Yes. Poor weight gain and failure to thrive are among the most common reasons children are referred to him. He first looks for a medical cause such as celiac disease, food intolerance, an infection or absorption problem, and then puts together a clinical nutrition plan the family can realistically follow at home.
Dr. Bilal Khan sees patients Monday to Thursday, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, at KidsCare International Hospital, Saidpur Road, Rawalpindi.
