Where to Turn if Your Child isn’t Feeling Well

Dealing with a sick child is one of the worst experiences for a parent. But the fact is that no child is immune from illness, which will no doubt strike multiple times as he or she grows. We’re here to help. At the office of Kiddies' Pal Pediatrics, you can rest assured we’ll provide immediate, thorough care to help your young one feel better quickly.

A sick child visit is an appointment you schedule with your pediatrician when your child isn’t feeling well. This is not the same as wellness visits, which are routine and required checkups to protect against illness. Adhering to a regular schedule when it comes to routine checkups and immunizations for your child will help reduce the risk for illnesses and the likelihood of an emergency doctor’s appointment.

When illness does arise, you want a team of medical professionals who can get you into the office right away and provide the proper tests to formulate a diagnoses and appropriate treatment plan. Our highly skilled, compassionate team will come through for you every time — making your child’s health and well-being their top priority.

Symptoms and conditions that typically require a sick visit:

• 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
• broken bones
• trouble swallowing (could indicate an allergic reaction)
• headaches with a fever or vomiting
• widespread or painful rash

Parents know their child best — and you know when something is not right. When that time comes, it’s time to call the office of Kiddies' Pal Pediatrics, where your child’s health is always in the best of hands. For more information on the many services we provide, give us a call today.
