When to Choose Online Consultation

By Dr. Neha Sharma

Tele-consultation has grown rapidly, but many patients still wonder when it's appropriate to consult a doctor online versus visiting in person.

Online consultations are ideal for: - Follow-up visits — Checking on recovery progress - Non-emergency concerns — Skin issues, allergies, mild fever - Prescription refills — Chronic disease medication renewals - Mental health support — Anxiety, stress counselling - Second opinions — Getting another perspective from home

Always visit a hospital for chest pain, severe breathing difficulty, major injuries, or any emergency situation.
