Comprehensive Pediatric Urgent Care in Stockton

Our pediatric practitioners treat many childhood injuries and ailments. Whether your child has a garden variety virus like the common cold, needs a foreign body removed, has strep throat, or anything in-between, we can help. Our providers treat minor injuries like cuts, insect stings, animal bites, broken bones, and more. 

We can also conduct physical exams your child may need to attend school, sports, or camp, and while doing so, we can ensure they are current on all necessary vaccinations like the tetanus or annual flu shot.

When Should I Consider Taking My Child to Urgent Care?

You should consider taking your child to urgent care for the following reasons:

1. Minor Injuries: Cuts, burns, or minor fractures that require immediate attention but are not life-threatening.
2. Fever: Persistent or high fever, particularly in infants and young children.
3. Common Illnesses: Cold, flu, ear infections, or sore throat that require prompt treatment.
4. Mild Allergic Reactions: Allergies or mild reactions to insect bites or certain foods.
5. Vomiting or Diarrhea: Persistent vomiting or diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration if not addressed.
6. Mild Breathing Difficulties: Mild asthma attacks or respiratory infections causing breathing problems.
7. Sports Injuries: Sprains, strains, or minor sports-related injuries that need immediate evaluation and treatment.

For severe or life-threatening emergencies, it is essential to seek immediate medical attention at the nearest emergency room.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my child requires ongoing care after a visit to pediatric urgent care?

Can I bring my infant to pediatric urgent care?
