Expert medical care for your child from verified MD Paediatricians — online, at any hour. Child fever, vaccination advice, growth concerns, cough, diarrhea, asthma, developmental milestones and more. Emergency consultations available 24/7. Prescription included.
A Paediatrician is a specialist doctor trained exclusively in the health of infants, children and adolescents from birth to 18 years. Children are not small adults — their physiology, normal values, medication doses and developmental milestones are entirely different at every age, requiring specialist knowledge that a general physician does not have.
VinsHealth connects parents with verified MD Paediatricians who are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether it is a midnight fever in a 6-month-old, confusion about the vaccination schedule, a child not gaining weight, or concerns about a developmental milestone — our paediatricians provide the same quality of care as a top-tier clinic, from your home.
Paediatric consultations on VinsHealth are priced at ₹800 for a standard video consultation and ₹1,000 for a comprehensive review (including growth chart plotting, vaccination review and developmental screening). This reflects the specialist training, time-intensive nature and critical responsibility of children’s healthcare.
Symptoms, when to consult, and a related article for each condition — so parents can make informed decisions.
Fever is the most common reason parents seek urgent medical advice for their child. A VinsHealth paediatrician can assess your child's fever over video, evaluate associated symptoms, determine whether it requires urgent in-person care or can be safely managed at home, and prescribe age-appropriate antipyretics, antibiotics or antivirals — giving parents expert guidance exactly when they need it most.
Cough and cold are the most frequent illnesses of childhood — the average Indian child has 6–8 respiratory infections per year. A paediatrician can differentiate viral upper respiratory infection from bacterial pneumonia, allergic cough, croup or early asthma, prescribe appropriate treatment, and crucially advise parents on what NOT to give (cold medicines are contraindicated in children under 6).
India's childhood vaccination landscape is complex — with the national immunisation programme (NIP) schedule, IAP (Indian Academy of Pediatrics) additional vaccines, and multiple combinations creating genuine confusion for parents. A VinsHealth paediatrician can review your child's immunisation record, identify missed vaccines, advise on catch-up schedules, and answer questions about newer vaccines (rotavirus, PCV, varicella, typhoid conjugate) and post-vaccination fever management.
Poor growth, undernutrition and obesity are all epidemic in India — coexisting within the same communities. A paediatrician can plot your child's weight and height on the WHO growth chart, assess whether growth is faltering, identify nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin D, B12 are extremely common in Indian children), and create an age-appropriate Indian nutrition plan to support optimal development.
Acute gastroenteritis (diarrhea and vomiting) is the second leading cause of childhood death in India — primarily from dehydration. A paediatrician can assess your child's hydration status over video, prescribe oral rehydration therapy (ORS), anti-emetics and zinc supplementation where appropriate, and critically determine when intravenous fluids and hospitalisation are needed.
Skin rashes in children cause enormous parental anxiety — from the normal newborn rash to eczema, urticaria, viral exanthems and meningococcal purpura. A paediatrician can assess your child's rash over video or photos, differentiate benign from serious causes, prescribe antihistamines, topical steroids or refer urgently when needed.
Tonsillitis is one of the most common reasons children see a doctor in India, yet is frequently overtreated with antibiotics. A paediatrician can assess whether your child's throat pain is viral (requiring no antibiotics) or bacterial streptococcal tonsillitis (requiring a full antibiotic course) — preventing both unnecessary antibiotic use and under-treatment of serious strep infections.
Infantile colic — crying for 3+ hours a day, 3+ days a week, for 3+ weeks in an otherwise healthy infant — affects 1 in 5 Indian babies and causes immense parental distress. A paediatrician can confirm the diagnosis, advise on colic management techniques, assess for underlying causes (lactose intolerance, reflux, cow's milk protein allergy), and prescribe infant probiotics or simethicone where indicated.
Child development is a complex, multidimensional process — covering motor, language, cognitive and social-emotional domains. A paediatrician can screen your child for developmental delay using standardised tools, differentiate normal variation from genuine delay, advise on stimulation activities, and refer appropriately for speech therapy, physiotherapy or developmental paediatric assessment.
Childhood asthma affects 10–15% of Indian children — and the majority are inadequately controlled due to poor inhaler technique, steroid phobia, and under-diagnosis. A paediatrician can review your child's symptoms, current inhalers and trigger factors, assess asthma control level, adjust preventer and reliever medications, and provide a written asthma action plan for school and home.
All paediatricians hold an MD or DCH in Paediatrics, are NMC registered, IAP members, individually verified and have a minimum 4.8★ rating from parents.

My 8-month-old had 103.5°F at 2 AM on a Saturday. No clinic was open. Dr. Meera joined the video call within 10 minutes, examined my baby on screen, told me exactly what medicine to give and what dose, and stayed on the call until the fever started coming down. Without this service I would have gone to a chaotic A&E unnecessarily.
Was completely confused between the government schedule and what my paediatrician was recommending. Dr. Rohit spent 30 minutes going through our immunisation card, identified 2 missed vaccines, gave us a catch-up plan and explained each vaccine clearly. Best paediatric consultation we've had — in person or online.
My 2-year-old had barely gained 300g in 4 months. Our local doctor said nothing was wrong. Dr. Priya plotted his growth chart, identified faltering growth, checked for iron deficiency anaemia (positive), prescribed iron syrup, and gave us a calorie-dense Indian food plan. He has gained 900g in 2 months.
My 3-year-old had diarrhea for 2 days and I couldn't tell if she was dehydrated. Dr. Sundar did a video assessment — checked her mouth, asked me to press her skin, looked at her eyes. Confirmed mild dehydration, gave exact ORS instructions with amounts per hour by weight. She recovered without hospitalisation.
My 6-year-old's asthma was poorly controlled despite being on inhalers. Dr. Rohit watched my son use the inhaler on video — immediately identified wrong technique and wrong spacer. Corrected both. No asthma attack in 4 months since then. A 20-minute consultation did what years of clinic visits couldn't.
My 18-month-old wasn't walking and wasn't saying any words. Was terrified. Dr. Meera did a thorough developmental assessment over video, correctly identified a speech delay (not autism), referred us to a speech therapist, and explained what to do at home. 3 months of speech therapy and he's now speaking 20+ words.
