If your question is not answered below, the symptom navigator and the "what to send" page usually cover the remaining details. For anything urgent, do not wait for an online answer — seek in-person care.
This FAQ — and the consultation pathway itself — is for stable pediatric breathing concerns. If your child has severe breathing distress, blue lips, drowsiness, poor feeding, chest indrawing or rapidly worsening illness, take them to in-person pediatric emergency care.
Common parent questions.
i.Who is Together We Breathe for?
For parents whose child has recurrent or persistent breathing concerns — cough, wheeze, asthma, allergy-linked breathing, sleep breathing concerns, recurrent infections or more complex pediatric lung conditions — and who want a calm pediatric pulmonology view alongside ongoing care.
ii.Is video consultation safe for breathing problems?
Video consultation is suitable only for stable symptoms. Acute breathing distress, blue lips, drowsiness, poor feeding, chest indrawing or low oxygen always needs urgent in-person care — not a video review. The pathway here screens for emergency signs first.
iii.Will video consultation replace my child's pediatrician?
No. The consultation is designed to support, not replace, the relationship the family has with the regular pediatrician. With parent consent, a structured advice note can be shared back with the child's usual doctor.
iv.When is payment requested?
Only after suitability and safety have been reviewed. You will not be asked to pay if a video consultation is not appropriate for your child's concern.
v.Is the consultation available in Hindi?
Yes. Consultations are available in English and Hindi.
vi.How long does a consultation last?
Most consultations are scheduled for around 30 minutes, with longer time when the breathing story is complex or when more than one issue is being reviewed.
vii.Will I get a written plan after consultation?
Yes. A structured advice note is shared after consultation — clear next steps, what to watch for, follow-up timing and red flags that would need in-person care.
viii.Can the consultation prescribe medicines?
Stable, safe pediatric prescribing follows local norms. Where a change of prescription is suggested, it is explained in plain language to the family, and a structured advice note can be shared back with the regular doctor.
9.Can you review reports without a consultation?
No. Reports are best interpreted in the context of the child's full breathing story, technique, growth and history. Standalone report review is not offered.
10.What if my child needs in-person care after the consultation?
You will be told that clearly. Where in-person assessment, hands-on examination, oxygen, monitoring or further testing is the right next step, that is stated honestly.
11.Is my child's information kept private?
Information shared for consultation is treated as confidential medical information, stored and shared only as needed for the child's care, in line with the legal page.
12.How do I cancel or reschedule?
Through the same WhatsApp coordination channel used for appointment support. WhatsApp is for non-urgent coordination only — never for emergency care.
If you still need help.
Most remaining questions are about which guide fits your child's pattern, what to send before booking, and whether video review is suitable. These are exactly what the symptom navigator and the "what to send" page are for.
