Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of the ChatGPT model in providing advice to parents with sick or compromised children. Methods: Twelve pediatric doctors assessed their agreement with ChatGPT's responses to fourteen questions about child health using a five-option Likert scale ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree." Results: The majority of the doctors (over 90%) agreed or strongly agreed with most (12 of 14) of ChatGPT's responses, and in seven of the fourteen responses, more than half of them strongly agreed with the answers. Conclusions: ChatGPT can generate accurate and useful answers for some common pediatric health questions. With further development and validation, it could improve accessibility to appropriate information for pediatric healthcare.
