Pediatric Video Consultation (GP)

Seeking an Online Pediatrician?

If your child is experiencing a common health concern and you are unable to access a pediatrician immediately, you can consult a GP specialising in children’s health for prompt and safe clinical advice. Our doctors are experienced in assessing pediatric conditions, providing expert guidance, and ensuring necessary treatments are administered swiftly.

Dr.Online provides access to a team of experienced GPs who manage a wide range of common pediatric conditions. Through our convenient digital service, your child can receive professional medical care without the need for extended waiting times or unnecessary travel.

How the Dr.Online Pediatric Consultation works

Our GPs are well-equipped to assess and manage straightforward paediatric conditions and mild symptoms that can be clearly described or visually presented during a virtual consultation.

Below is a summary of common paediatric conditions treated during our online consultations. Please note that this list is not exhaustive:

Acute Febrile Illness: Sudden fevers are typically a natural response to viral infections and often resolve spontaneously. Parents should monitor temperature and hydration, seeking medical advice if symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by a rash.

Viral and Bacterial Infections: Children frequently encounter infections in educational settings. While viral cases are often mild, bacterial infections may necessitate antibiotics; a GP assessment ensures an accurate diagnosis.

Dermatological Conditions and Rashes: Pediatric rashes can stem from infections, allergies, or irritants. While many are benign, a virtual assessment can help identify those requiring specific treatment.

Paediatric Sleep Concerns: Disrupted routines or frequent night waking can impact a child’s well-being. Most cases are manageable through clinical guidance on sleep hygiene.

Gastrointestinal Issues: Digestive concerns, such as constipation or abdominal pain, often arise from dietary changes. These are frequently resolved through professional dietary advice and GP-led management.

Allergies: Allergic reactions range from mild irritation to respiratory distress. An online doctor can assess symptoms to recommend appropriate management or formal testing.

Medical certificates

Our online doctors can issue medical certificates to justify a child’s absence from school or to confirm they are fit to return to a school or daycare environment. This certification is included in this service and comes at no extra cost.

Clinical Restrictions

Please note that our GPs do not issue treatments involving controlled substances, including — but not limited to — opioids, benzodiazepines, hypnotics, and pharmacological therapies for ADHD.
