Kids don’t always wait for the most convenient time to get hurt or come down with a bug. Maybe it’s the middle of the night, or during your family vacation. Or maybe it’s just a busy week

Online care options like e-visits are easy and fast. But you may be wondering if they really are a good option for quality care. While e-visits can't replace the in-person care you get from your child's doctor, there are some situations where it can make sense to use online care for kids.

E-visits are ideal for mild to moderate illnesses, like:

• Pink eye (ages 1+)
• Bug bites (ages 5+)
• Cold and flu (age 5+)
• Sinus infections (ages 5+)
• Skin rashes (ages 5+)

If symptoms seem more serious, or the illness seems more complex, opt to have your child seen in-person.
