Child Sickness

Kids get sick all the time, and when you have multiple kids in the house, it might feel like someone is always sick! You can teach good hygiene habits and discourage sharing food, but kids still spread germs and often end up with sickness. So how do you know when it is serious and when they need urgent care?

When To Call Your Pediatrician

If your child experiences a serious or life-threatening illness or injury you should call 911 or go to an ER immediately. However, if your child is feeling sick but it is not life-threatening, we can help with a same-day appointment. When your child needs urgent care, we can offer same-day sick appointments. Call your pediatrician if your child experiences:

• Any fever over 100.4 (in children under 2 months)
• Any fever over 104 (older children)
• Cannot be consoled (babies)
• Ear infection
• Painful rash
• Persistent vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal pain
• Trouble swallowing
• Intense headache that won't subside
• A big fall or accidental injury

Severe issues like dehydration or a concussion would require an ER visit for appropriate treatment. It might be your first reaction to run to the ER whenever your kid has a sniffle, but a lot of everyday illnesses and injuries can be helped by your pediatrician at our practice where your child is more familiar and comfortable being seen by the doctors.
