Visited the clinic at Kandigai at night. Doctor was available and pharmacy was open which helped a lot. Place was a little busy when I went.

Clinic is small but neat. Took my daughter for fever. Consultation and medicines were done in the same place so we didn’t have to go elsewhere.

Had a late evening fever and body pain. Went directly to the clinic. Got consultation, injection and medicines there itself.

We have used the clinic twice and lab service once. Staff recognise us now and the experience has been consistent.

I went mainly because it is close to home. Ended up doing consultation, blood test and buying the medicines there. Convenient setup.

Nothing fancy. Nearby clinic, decent doctor, lab and pharmacy together. Works well for regular needs.

Questions

Common questions

What temperature is a fever in a child?
38°C (100.4°F) or higher. In a baby under 3 months, any fever needs a doctor the same day.
Can I alternate paracetamol and ibuprofen?
Ask the doctor first. Never give ibuprofen to a child who may have dengue.
