What is virtual pediatrics telemedicine?

This kind of healthcare is practically the same as in-person healthcare, but of course, it’s at home! It’s also less expensive. You can have a virtual visit with a pediatrician for advice, diagnosis, and treatment for your child. This could be for a condition like a:

– Minor respiratory condition
– Simple injury like a minor sprain or bruise
– Sore throat
– Infection like a urinary tract infection
– Seasonal allergy or minor allergic reaction
– Minor case of the flu
– Rash
– And more

For any flu-like symptoms, it’s actually necessary to have a virtual visit. A virtual visit is often just as good as an in-person visit anyways, as there are many primary and pediatric care services that can be offered like:

– Well-child visit services and many sick-child visit services
– Visual physical evaluations
– Prescriptions
– Referrals to see any specialists
– Pediatric or family health advice
– And other primary and pediatric care services

How does a virtual visit go?

This type of visit is done via online video conference. If you don’t have the right kind of device, you can have a phone appointment instead. There are lots of advantages to doing a virtual visit, though, like being able to get a visual evaluation for your child. In order to have a virtual visit, you’ll need a:

– Device with a camera and/or microphone, like a computer or smartphone
– Medium or fast speed internet connection

Once you’ve got those things, you’ll be ready to have a virtual visit with a pediatrician. The visit itself is pretty straightforward, and pretty much the same as a regular visit. Here’s how your visit will likely go:

– You’ll connect with a pediatrician in a videoconference
– You’ll speak with the pediatrician about your child’s symptoms
– The pediatrician will provide a visual evaluation
– The pediatrician will offer you a diagnosis for your child
– Finally, the pediatrician will recommend a treatment like a prescription

Sometimes it may be necessary for you to bring your child to the clinic for face-to-face testing or treatment. If this is necessary and if there’s a risk of getting sick or spreading a sickness, then we can provide testing and even treatment at our clinic’s curbside.

When is it necessary to get telemedicine?

With an in-person visit, sometimes there’s a risk of infecting others or getting yourself or your child infected. This is when a virtual visit is the better and only option. Viral infections can be especially contagious, so when there’s a considerable risk, please seek telemedicine. We provide it here at Evergreen Pediatrics!
