Pediatric Urgent Care in Frisco, TX

When your child needs a physical exam, like an annual physical or a physical for school, you take him or her to see your family physician or pediatrician. Immunizations and other simple health matters can be taken care of by either of those professionals. And if your child needs emergency care for a serious (life-threatening) injury or illness, you go to the ER (emergency room). Pediatric urgent care is different, though, but it definitely has an important role to play in your child’s healthcare!

Urgent care is for minor (non-life-threatening) but urgent health matters. For instance, you should take your child to urgent care if he or she gets a minor injury in sports or has strep throat. They can also provide a physical exam if your child needs one right away for school or to join a new sports team. Or if your child is behind on his or her vaccination schedule, they can provide a shot. Same-day visits are no problem for pediatric urgent care!

Remember, the ER is for life-threatening health conditions. Also, you should go to the ER if you’re unsure whether a condition could be life-threatening. Only the ER can handle life-threatening health conditions.

You can take your child to the ER for minor health conditions, but if you do, you’ll have to wait until patients with life-threatening conditions are treated. If you’re sure your child’s condition is minor, then urgent care is best because it’s the quickest and most affordable option. Please remember, though, that the ER is the only option for life-threatening conditions.

If you go to urgent care and the health condition turns out to be life-threatening, then they will call the ER for you and have them come meet you. Please don’t go to urgent care if a health condition is life-threatening or if you’re unsure whether a condition could be life-threatening. The ER is the only option, and they’ll be able to treat your child right away. Call 911 for emergency care at the ER.
