Pediatric urgent care near Lombard, IL, from Lilac Time to flu season
Lombard, IL parents can take I-355 south to Ogden Ave and reach Urgent Care Center of Westmont, about 6.7 miles away in Westmont, IL. We see children seven days a week for stings, allergy flare-ups, fevers, ear pain and minor injuries, with X-ray at our Cass Ave clinic.
Lilac Time with kids: stings, sunburn and tired feet
The Village of Lombard describes Lilacia Park as 8.5 acres of flowering lilacs, about 200 varieties in all, plus 75,000 tulips. Lilac Time draws crowds each May and ends with the Lilac Parade. A day among the blossoms is a joy for kids, and it brings a familiar set of small problems.
A bee sting that swells around the site: a cool compress helps; come in if the swelling keeps growing after the first day or looks infected. See bee sting treatment
A sunburn on shoulders and noses: come in if blisters cover a large area, the skin looks infected, or your child feels feverish or chilled
A skinned knee from a curb during the parade: press for 5 to 10 minutes to stop bleeding, then wash gently with soap and water, as HealthyChildren.org advises
Spring pollen and a stuffy, itchy child
Blossoms mean pollen. HealthyChildren.org lists sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, sniffling, nose rubbing and itchy, runny eyes as common allergy signs in children. Itchiness is a hallmark of allergies and not usually part of a cold. It suggests air conditioning to cut pollen exposure indoors.
A long-term allergy plan usually starts with your pediatrician, who may refer you to an allergy specialist. We can help when a stuffy nose turns into ear pain or sinus pain, when a cough lingers, or when you want to talk about allergy testing for an older child.

Symptoms overlap, so you cannot always tell at home. The CDC says children younger than 5, especially those under 2, and children with asthma or diabetes are more likely to have serious flu complications. Our clinicians can do flu testing and COVID-19 testing when a result will guide care, and recommend treatment, which may include antiviral medicine when appropriate.

Your pediatrician, our clinic or the ER

The American Academy of Pediatrics sends checkups, refills and long-term conditions to the pediatrician, and suggests urgent care for problems that are not life-threatening but should not wait several days, such as ear pain, a sprained ankle or a suspected mild allergic reaction. The emergency warning signs are listed at the bottom of this page.
How much swelling after a bee sting is normal for a child?
A sting often swells around the site and can itch for a few days. Come in if the swelling keeps growing after the first day, the area looks infected, or you are unsure. The signs of a severe allergic reaction, which need 911, are listed at the bottom of this page.
Can allergy medicine help my child's spring sneezing?
Often it can. HealthyChildren.org notes that over-the-counter antihistamines and nasal sprays are available, but check the right product and dose for your child's age with a clinician. For a long-term plan, start with your pediatrician.
Should my child get a flu test when flu is going around school?
Not always. A test helps most when the result will change treatment, such as for a young child or a child with asthma. Our clinician examines your child first and decides whether a flu or COVID-19 test makes sense.
Can my child be seen if we do not have insurance?
Yes. Self-pay visits start at $125, and some tests cost more. If you are not using insurance, you can ask for a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before your child is seen. Tell the front desk you are paying on your own.
My child twisted an ankle at the Lilac Parade. Which clinic should we use?
Use 29 N Cass Ave in Westmont, IL. It is the only one of our two clinics with on-site X-ray. Coming from Lombard, IL, pass the Jewel-Osco clinic on Ogden Ave and turn south on Cass Ave.
