Online Pediatric Consultation with Dr. Vannala Raju

I offer online video consultations for children and newborns through the VRA Health app. A video visit is useful when your child is stable and you need advice, a follow-up or a review of reports, but it does not replace an examination when one is needed. On this page I explain what I can and cannot handle online and how to book.

What I can help with online

Follow-up after a clinic or hospital visit, and review of blood tests, X-rays or scan reports
Mild fever, cold, cough or loose motions in a child who is alert, drinking well and passing urine
Feeding, breastfeeding and starting solids questions, and newborn care doubts
Growth, weight and developmental milestone questions
Vaccination schedule planning and questions about side effects
Rashes, allergies and skin concerns that can be seen clearly on camera
Second opinions and advice for families living outside Hyderabad

What needs an in-person visit

Any condition where I need to examine the chest, ears, throat or abdomen properly
Vaccinations, blood tests, and newborn jaundice checks that need a bilirubin test
A baby under 3 months with fever, or a child whose fever is not settling
Children who look unwell, very sleepy, or are not feeding or drinking

For these I will ask you to see me at Cygnet Superspeciality Clinics, Czech Colony or at Virinchi Hospitals, Banjara Hills.

Emergencies: go to the hospital, not online

Do not wait for a video call if your child has difficulty breathing, blue or grey lips, a seizure (fit), unusual drowsiness or is hard to wake, repeated vomiting, signs of dehydration (no urine for 6 to 8 hours, very dry mouth), a severe injury, a suspected poisoning, or is a newborn who is not feeding. Go to the nearest hospital emergency department straight away.

How to book a video consultation

Open my profile on the VRA Health app or website: Dr. Raju Vannala on VRA Health.
Choose a time slot and fill in your child’s details, age, weight and the main concern.
Pay on the app. My consultation fee on VRA Health is ₹550; platform charges and taxes are added, and the app shows the final amount before you pay.
Keep earlier prescriptions, reports and vaccination card ready, and join the video call from a quiet, well-lit place so I can see your child clearly.
After the call you get a digital prescription and advice on the app.

I consult online in English, Hindi and Telugu.

Book a clinic visit: call +91 79979 95500 or book an appointment online. For a video consultation, book on the VRA Health app.
