About

MD (Paediatrics), with a special interest in paediatric hemato-oncology. Registered with the Telangana State Medical Council (Reg. No. TSMC/FMR/31029).

Dr Anjana Alekhya is a paediatrician who works with anxious parents - and a mother herself. She knows the worry from both sides of the consulting table: the 2 a.m. fever, the "is this normal?" spiral, the fear of overreacting and the fear of missing something.

Parenting comes with a constant background hum of worry. Her work is answering that hum - helping parents find the next sensible step, whether that is a plan for home, a watch-and-wait, or a trip to the hospital.

Her approach is simple: explain what is going on in plain language, tell you exactly what to do and what to watch for, and be honest about when something needs urgent action - and when you can safely stop worrying. You will never leave one of her guides or consultations guessing about the next step.

On this site she writes in two voices: practical child-health guidance for parents, and personal essays on medicine, healthcare, and whatever else she is thinking about. She also consults online - book a video consultation.
