Can I consult a pediatrician online?

Yes. Many common problems - fever, cough, loose stools, feeding, rashes, growth and vaccination questions - can be assessed over video. The pediatrician will tell you clearly if your child needs to be seen in person.

Can a newborn be assessed online?

Many newborn concerns can: jaundice, feeding, weight gain, sleep and skin. A newborn with fever, poor feeding, breathing difficulty or unusual drowsiness needs a hospital at once.

Do you have pediatric super-specialists?

Yes. Our team includes DM specialists in neonatology, pediatric critical care, endocrinology, pulmonology, cardiology and rheumatology, trained at AIIMS New Delhi, PGIMER Chandigarh and JIPMER Puducherry.

Can I get help with breastfeeding online?

Yes. An IBCLC-certified lactation consultant and pediatrician can help with latching, low milk supply, baby's weight gain and starting solid foods.

Can I consult from outside India?

Yes. Slot times are shown in your local time zone and the fee in your currency. Medicines prescribed by a doctor in India may need a local prescription before a pharmacy abroad will dispense them.

Q: When should I take my child to a hospital?

Go at once if your child is drowsy or hard to wake, breathing fast or with effort, has a fit, has a rash that does not fade when pressed, is not passing urine, or if a baby under 3 months has a fever of 38 C or more.

What an online consultation can and cannot do

It can: take a careful history, look at your child on video (breathing, skin, alertness, hydration signs), review reports and growth charts, advise on medicines and feeding, and tell you clearly whether your child needs to be seen in person.

It cannot: examine ears, throat or chest with instruments, or treat a child who is seriously unwell – that needs a hospital immediately.

How to prepare

Your child's weight (and height if known) and temperature readings
Photos of any rash, and a short video of the breathing or cough if relevant
Vaccination card, previous prescriptions and test reports
For newborns: birth weight, feeding pattern and number of wet nappies a day

Second opinions and patients outside India

Many families use VRA Health for a second opinion before a major decision, or to consult a pediatrician they trust from abroad. You can share reports, scans and discharge summaries before the call, and the doctor will go through them with you in plain language. Slot times are shown in your local time zone. Medicines prescribed by a doctor in India may need a prescription from a local doctor before a pharmacy outside India will dispense them.

When to go to a hospital instead

Online consultations are not for emergencies. Go to a hospital at once if your child is unusually drowsy or hard to wake, is breathing fast or with effort, has a fit, has a rash that does not fade when pressed, is not passing urine, cannot keep fluids down, or if a baby under 3 months has a fever of 38°C (100.4°F) or more. In India call 108 (ambulance) or go to the nearest hospital; abroad, call your local emergency number.
