Go to Hospital Now — Do Not Wait for an Online Consultation

If your child has any of the following, this is an emergency. Take them to the nearest emergency department immediately.

  • Difficulty breathing or fast, laboured breathing
  • Blue or grey lips, tongue or fingertips
  • Seizures or fits
  • Unconsciousness or a child you cannot wake
  • Suspected poisoning or swallowed object
  • Serious injury, head injury or heavy bleeding
  • Any fever in a baby under 3 months
  • Severe dehydration — no urine for 8+ hours, sunken eyes, no tears
  • Severe allergic reaction with swelling of face or throat

Online consultation is for everything that is not an emergency. We would rather send you to hospital than treat a serious illness over a screen.

Real parent worries

The Six Things Parents Ask Us Most

Practical answers first — what is normal, what you can do at home tonight, and when a doctor genuinely needs to be involved.

"My child won't eat anything."

Between 1 and 4 years, appetite naturally drops because growth slows down. Most 'not eating' children are actually growing fine. Check the real measure: is weight increasing on the chart, is your child active, and is urine normal? Offer small portions every 2–3 hours, stop juice and biscuits between meals, and never force-feed — it makes refusal worse. Come to a doctor if weight is flat for 3 months, energy is low, or your child looks pale.

"My baby cries all night."

In the first 3 months, evening crying spells (colic) are common and peak around 6 weeks. Check hunger, wet nappy, heat, tight clothing and burping first. Hold your baby upright for 20 minutes after feeds, try gentle tummy massage and a calm, dim room. Come to a doctor if crying is high-pitched and continuous, your baby is feeding poorly, has a fever, is vomiting green, or has blood in stool.

"My child has fever."

Fever is the body fighting infection — it is a symptom, not a disease. How your child behaves matters more than the number. Give paracetamol by weight (15 mg per kg per dose, every 6 hours), keep fluids going, dress lightly, and never use cold water or alcohol wipes. Consult if fever crosses 3 days, comes with rash, breathing difficulty, refusal to drink, or your child is under 3 months (that is an emergency).

"My newborn doesn't sleep."

Newborns sleep 14–17 hours a day but only in 2–3 hour stretches, and they do not know day from night until about 6–8 weeks. Keep days bright and noisy, nights dark and quiet, and feed on demand. Always place your baby on the back to sleep, on a firm flat surface. Consult if your baby is sleeping too much and skipping feeds, is difficult to wake, or is not gaining weight.

"My child coughs every month."

A child in daycare or school can have 6–10 viral infections a year — that is normal, not weak immunity. But a cough that comes back every month with wheeze, night cough or exercise cough may be asthma or allergy, and needs a proper assessment. Also check for damp, smoke, dust and pets at home. Consult if the cough lasts more than 3 weeks, disturbs sleep, or comes with weight loss.

"My child isn't gaining weight."

Do not compare with cousins or neighbours — compare with your own child's growth chart. Real concerns are: weight flat for 3 months, crossing downward across chart lines, or weight far below height. Common causes in Pakistan are low-calorie diet, excessive milk or juice, iron deficiency, worms, repeated infections and coeliac disease. A child specialist will plot the chart, look for a cause, and give a practical feeding plan.

What we treat

Childhood Conditions Our Specialists Handle Every Day

From newborn feeding worries to teenage acne — with an honest note on what each one really needs.

Fever
Most common reason parents call. Cause matters more than the number.
Cold & Flu
Usually viral — comfort care, not antibiotics.
Cough
We check breathing rate and effort, not just the sound.
Vomiting
Focus on keeping fluids down in small sips.
Diarrhoea
ORS technique matters more than any medicine.
Constipation
Diet, water and routine before any laxative.
Asthma
Inhaler technique reviewed live on camera.
Allergy
Food, dust and seasonal triggers identified.
Ear Infection
Often needs an in-clinic look — we tell you honestly.
Skin Rash
Show it on camera; most rashes are diagnosed visually.
Poor Weight Gain
Plotted on WHO charts, not guesswork.
Growth Delay
Height and weight tracked over time.
Development Delay
Milestones reviewed by age.
Nutrition Problems
Picky eating, iron, vitamin D and real food plans.
Sleep Problems
Night waking, sleep routine, night feeds.
Breastfeeding
Latch, supply, feeding gaps and pumping.
Newborn Care
Cord care, bathing, crying, colic and stool colour.
Vaccination
EPI schedule, catch-up plan and post-vaccine fever.
Jaundice
Newborn yellowness — when it is safe, when it is not.
Convulsions
Emergency first. We guide after the child is stable.
Anaemia
Common in Pakistani children — tests and iron plan.
Dehydration
We teach you the exact signs to watch at home.
By age

Care That Changes as Your Child Grows

A newborn, a toddler and a teenager need completely different assessment. Find your child's stage.

Newborn

0–28 days

Feeding and latch, jaundice, cord care, sleep, weight loss in the first week, stool colour, excessive crying.

Any fever in a baby under 3 months is an emergency — go directly to hospital.

Infant

1–12 months

Vaccination schedule, starting solids at 6 months, colic, reflux, teething, weight gain, first fevers and colds.

Most infant problems are handled well online — except breathing difficulty or dehydration.

Toddler

1–3 years

Picky eating, repeated colds after daycare, diarrhoea, tantrums, speech milestones, low weight, iron deficiency.

Repeated infections at this age are usually normal immune training, not weakness.

Preschool

3–5 years

Constipation, bedwetting, allergies, asthma, school-readiness, appetite, worm infections.

Behaviour and appetite worries are very common and usually manageable at home.

School-age

6–12 years

Headaches, stomach pain, concentration, obesity or underweight, vision problems, sports injuries, anaemia.

Recurring stomach pain before school is often stress-related — we assess both.

Teenager

13–18 years

Puberty, acne, periods, mood, sleep, nutrition, exam stress, screen habits.

Teens can speak privately with the doctor if you prefer — with your consent.

Choose honestly

When Online Works — and When Your Child Should Be Seen

We tell you the difference upfront, because guessing wrong costs time when a child is unwell.

Full FAQ

Everything Parents Ask a Child Specialist

Doses, danger signs, vaccination, feeding, prescriptions, privacy and fees — answered plainly.

A child specialist is a doctor trained specifically in the health of children from birth to 18 years. Children are not small adults — their doses, danger signs and normal values are completely different. A pediatrician diagnoses illness, guides vaccination, tracks growth and development, and tells you clearly when something needs hospital care.
