When to Choose Urgent Care

During flu season, bring your child to a pediatric urgent care if they have a fever, cough, breathing trouble, sore throat, ear pain, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, or seem sick to you. Quick evaluation and a rapid flu test can allow the option of treatment with flu medicine and may help avoid complications.

Most fevers can be handled at Prime Time Pediatrics’ walk-in urgent care, but go to the ER for evaluation of fever if your child also struggles to breathe, has severe vomiting, has a seizure, is dehydrated, is under 3 months old, or has a fever of 105 or higher.
