When Your Child Is Ill, Count on Us

Having a child suddenly become sick is one of the toughest experiences a parent can go through. It’s unfortunate but true that no child is immune from illness; and chances are likely that a youngster will be afflicted with an unexpected ailment a few times during her (or his) childhood. Moms and dads are highly attuned to their children. They can tell when something is “off.” 

The office of Prime Immediate and Primary Care is here to help. You can rest assured that we’ll provide immediate and thorough care to help your young one feel better quickly.

There’s a distinct difference between a sick visit and a wellness visit for your youngster. With a sick visit, you schedule an appointment with your child’s pediatrician when she or he isn’t feeling well. Wellness visits are routine checkups to monitor your child’s overall health. 

And by the way, adhering to a regular schedule when it comes to routine checkups and immunizations for your child will help reduce the risk of illnesses and the likelihood of an emergency doctor’s appointment.

Here are some conditions and symptoms that could call for a sick visit. 

• a high fever or a fever that lasts days or doesn’t respond to pain relievers
• abdominal pain (pain on the right side could indicate appendicitis)
• a serious injury/fall/accident
• a broken bone
• trouble swallowing (could indicate an allergic reaction)
• headaches with a fever or vomiting
• a widespread or painful rash
