Why online consultations for children are effective
Telemedicine allows you to receive medical care quickly, without queues and stress. According to international studies, up to 70% of pediatric consultations can be effectively handled online: initial assessment, treatment adjustment, and condition monitoring.
However, the quality of the consultation directly depends on proper preparation.
How to properly prepare a child for an online appointment
1. Psychological preparation of the child
The child should understand that the doctor is a friend who wants to help.
Say:
“The doctor will check how you’re feeling and tell you what to do.”
This reduces anxiety by almost 40%.
2. The right place for the consultation
- a quiet room
- good lighting
- stable internet connection
The camera should be positioned at the child’s eye level.
3. Prepare medical information in advance
Write down in advance:
- complaints
- body temperature
- when symptoms started
- which medications were taken
This allows the doctor to make a preliminary diagnosis more quickly.
4. The child’s physical condition
The child should not be:
For young children, it is acceptable to hold them in your arms.
5. The role of parents during the consultation
Parents are active participants in the process:
- help answer questions
- perform simple examinations following the doctor’s instructions
- clarify the treatment plan
When an online consultation is especially useful
- colds, cough, runny nose
- fever
- abdominal pain without acute symptoms
- treatment adjustment
- follow-up consultations
