Does my child need pediatric care if they’re healthy?
Yes. Routine pediatric care is essential for all children, even if they seem healthy. Many childhood health problems, like asthma and allergies, don’t present obvious symptoms, so your child might be at risk but not know it.
Regular visits to Express Urgent Care provide peace of mind, present an opportunity to ask questions and ensure your child meets all necessary milestones.
What services does pediatric care provide?
The Express Urgent Care team offers various pediatric care services, including:
Vaccines
Vaccines are injections or nasal sprays that teach your child’s immune system to defend against viruses and bacteria. Staying current on childhood vaccines reduces the risk of contagious illness and protects your child’s well-being.
Urgent care
Urgent care immediately treats non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, like strep throat, insect bites, and mild burns. Express Urgent Care prides itself on prompt treatment. In fact, a provider sees most children within 30 minutes of contacting the office.
X-rays
X-rays take photos of your child’s bones, joints, or internal organs. They play a vital role in diagnosing common injuries, like fractures and dislocated joints. X-rays can also diagnose certain illnesses, like pneumonia (fluid in the lungs).
School and sports physicals
Many schools and youth athletic leagues require students and participants to undergo a physical exam before the start of a new school year or sports season. Express Urgent Care offers school and sports physicals to children, tweens, and teens.
Prescription medication
If your child has a chronic illness, like asthma, they might need to take prescription medication to keep their symptoms in check. The Express Urgent Care team regularly prescribes and refills childhood medications.
Specialist referrals
The Express Urgent Care team diagnoses and treats most pediatric health problems, but if your child needs more specialized care, they can provide a specialist referral. Afterward, the team coordinates care between specialists to ensure your child receives the best quality care.
How often does my child need pediatric care?
The Express Urgent Care team recommends that all children undergo pediatric care at least once a year. If your child has a chronic health problem, like type 1 diabetes or asthma, more frequent checkups might be needed.
