Can I use DrHouse for my child?

Yes, you can use DrHouse for your child. A parent or legal guardian can create and manage a child’s profile and attend the visit with them.

Quick Answer:

• DrHouse supports care for children (minors)
• A parent or legal guardian must start and attend the visit
• Each child has their own profile and medical record
• One patient is treated per visit
• Physicians evaluate and treat conditions

How It Works

DrHouse allows you to add your child as a family member under your account and book visits on their behalf. During scheduling, you simply select your child’s profile instead of your own.

The visit takes place through a secure video consultation, where a DrHouse physician evaluates your child’s symptoms, asks questions, and recommends treatment if appropriate. This may include prescriptions, care guidance, or referrals for lab testing when needed.

You must be present during the entire visit if your child is under 18.

The Care Your Child Can Receive

DrHouse physicians can evaluate and treat many common, non-emergency pediatric concerns, such as:

• Cold and flu symptoms
• Pink eye
• Rashes or skin conditions
• Allergies
• Minor infections

Treatment depends on the physician’s evaluation and your child’s medical history.

Limitations and What to Know

• Parent/guardian required: Minors cannot start visits alone and must be accompanied during the consultation
• One patient per visit: If multiple children need care, each must have a separate appointment
• Not for emergencies: Serious or life-threatening conditions require in-person or emergency care
• Prescriptions are not guaranteed: Doctors decide based on medical necessity
• Some conditions require in-person care: If a physical exam or testing is needed, you may be referred to a clinic or hospital
