Online Consultation for Children's Adenoids
Dr. Neha Soni sees children with enlarged adenoids, recurrent tonsillitis and allergic rhinitis by video call from anywhere in India, using the same 6-month AdenoidCare Protocol as at her clinic in KPHB, Hyderabad. Most of the history comes from the parent, so a video call works well, with the child joining for part of it.
What should parents prepare before a video consultation?
- A short phone video of your child sleeping, if they snore or breathe through the mouth at night.
- Any X-ray or ENT notes, and the names of medicines and nasal sprays used so far.
- A rough count of colds, sore throats or ear infections in the last six months, and school days missed.
- A parent who knows the child's day-to-day routine, with the child present for part of the call.
How are reviews done by video?
- Review calls at set points across the 6 months, with the parent's notes on snoring, blocked nose and colds.
- A new sleep video before a review when snoring was the main problem.
- Your child's regular medicines are not stopped.
When should your child see an ENT doctor in person first?
See an ENT doctor or paediatrician in person promptly if your child has pauses in breathing during sleep, loud snoring with daytime tiredness, hearing difficulty or repeated ear infections. Dr. Neha will say at the assessment if an ENT opinion should come first.
Frequently asked questions
Can my child be assessed for adenoids over video?
Yes. Most of the history comes from the parent, and a sleep video helps. Dr. Neha asks for an ENT examination when one is needed.
How long is the AdenoidCare Protocol?
Six months, with reviews at set points so symptoms are tracked over time.
What does the video assessment cost?
The video assessment is the same 60-minute assessment as in the clinic, for ₹999. If you enrol in a treatment programme afterwards, the ₹999 is adjusted against the programme fee; booking the assessment on its own does not make it free or refundable.
Does my child have to sit through the whole call?
No. The parent gives most of the history. The child joins for part of the call so Dr. Neha can see and talk to them.
