A parent’s worst nightmare, an injured or ill child can throw an entire family into disarray. To complicate matters further, it can be difficult to make an appointment with a doctor on such short notice, and too stressful to watch her continued suffering at home. In these moments, the quick and convenient concern of an Urgent Care facility may be just what your little one needs.
At My InstaDoc of Monroe, we are committed to prompt and professional pediatric care. We endeavor to provide only the best of the best for your little one, and are proud to offer a range of services designed to ease your child’s pain. Among others, we are happy to assist with the following:
Common Colds
While it is tempting to treat your child’s cold at home, it is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to pediatric health. Whether your little one simply has a cough and sniffle or has begun to exhibit signs of a worsening fever, a walk-in clinic may be just what she needs to feel better. (If your child is under six months old or a fever has persisted for several days, please take her to the ER.)
Allergic Reactions
So long as it has not compromised her airway, an urgent care facility is an ideal provider of care when your child has experienced an allergic reaction. From hives and rashes to nausea and vomiting, your little one’s discomfort will soon be on the mend with the efficient care of a walk-in clinic. (If your child is having difficulty breathing or this is her first allergic reaction, please take her to the ER.)
Ear Infections
A painful and uncomfortable experience at any age, an ear infection often induces irritability for days on end. Though relatively easy to treat at home, it can be difficult to watch your little one suffer. So long as it is not accompanied by a high fever or lethargy/fatigue, an urgent care is appropriate for an ear infection until your child’s PCP is available. (If your little one is under six months old and exhibiting signs of pain or a fever, please take her to the ER.)
Designed to provide interim care until you can make an appointment with a PCP, urgent care is a convenient and cost-effective solution to pediatric illness and injury. If you believe that your child is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please call 911 or bring him/her to the nearest Emergency Room.
