If a test will guide care, we may do a rapid strep test, a flu or COVID-19 test, a urine test or an X-ray at the Cass Ave clinic. Then we recommend treatment, which may include prescription medicine when appropriate, and tell you what to watch for at home. See our pediatric urgent care page.

I work in Oakbrook Terrace. Can I meet my child at the clinic?
Yes. A parent or legal guardian needs to consent to care, so if another adult arrives first with your child, call (630) 324-6825 ahead and ask what the clinic needs until you get there.
How long should my child stay home after vomiting?
The American Academy of Pediatrics says a child who has vomited 2 or more times in 24 hours should stay home, unless the cause is not an infection and there is no risk of dehydration. Check your school's own rule as well.
How can I keep track of whether my child is drinking enough?
Note how much your child drinks and how often they pee or have a wet diaper. Offer small sips often rather than big gulps. A clinician can check for signs of dehydration at the visit, and the warning signs are listed at the bottom of this page.
Are you open late enough for a pickup after work?
Both Westmont, IL clinics are open until 6 PM on weekdays and from 9 AM to 5 PM on Saturday and Sunday. A fever that starts on a Friday night can be checked during weekend hours.
Does every sore throat need a strep test?
No. The CDC says viruses cause most sore throats, and a cough, runny nose or hoarse voice points toward a virus. Strep is most common in children 5 through 15. A clinician examines your child and decides whether a rapid strep test is needed.
