Kids Urgent Visit In Westmont, IL

The AAP lists problems like these as a fit for urgent care when a child is otherwise stable:

• Ear pain that may be an infection; see ear infection treatment
• Sore throat, with strep throat testing when needed
• Fever, cough and body aches in flu season, with flu testing
• Ankle sprains with swelling or bruising
• Cuts that may need stitches
• Suspected broken bones without an obvious deformity
• Rashes; see skin rash evaluation

We ask about your child’s symptoms, when they started, medicines given, allergies and vaccines. A provider examines your child and explains what they find in plain language. If a test will guide treatment, we may test for flu, strep, COVID-19 or RSV. Lab testing is available, and on-site X-ray is available only at our Cass Ave clinic.

We go over home care, when to follow up with your pediatrician, and warning signs that mean you should come back or go to the ER. Please share our visit notes with your child’s pediatrician so their records stay complete.

• A list of your child’s medicines and the last dose times

Yes, when a provider thinks a test will help guide care.
