Should I take my child to pediatric urgent care for flu symptoms?
Flu can move fast, especially in babies and young kids. Bring your child to Prime Time Pediatrics Urgent Care—Athens-Oconee’s only pediatric urgent care—whenever you see flu-like symptoms:
- Fever
- Fast or labored breathing, wheezing, cough, sore throat, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Signs of dehydration (no tears, dry or sticky mouth, less than one wet diaper in 8 hours)
- Headache, ear pain, or chest pain
- Lethargy or excessive irritability
Our kid-only clinic offers on-site rapid flu tests, strep tests, and nebulizer treatments, so you leave with answers—often in under an hour. No appointment is needed; simply call ahead or register online with Fast Pass to reduce your in-office paperwork and wait time.
Extended hours make us the convenient “urgent care pediatric near me” option:
