As soon as you think you need an appointment, contact us right away. We do our best to accommodate walk in appointments at Kingsland Pediatrics, but we recommend that you call us prior to a visit so we can schedule you in.
If your child has any concerning symptoms or signs of illness, you can schedule a sick visit. The most common reasons parents schedule sick visits include:
- Sore throat
- Fever
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Ear pain or ear infection
- Cough and congestion
- Rashes or hives
- Pink eye
- Allergy symptoms
- Abdominal pain
- Urinary tract infections (UTI)
- Other reasons for a sick visit may include sprains, strains, minor burns, or infectious wounds. If your child has a severe acute illness or requires emergency treatment, the team at Kingsland Pediatrics may recommend you take your little one to the emergency room.
What To Expect During A Sick Visit
The Kingsland Pediatrics team initially collects updated information about their health, including:
- Height and weight
- Vital signs, including blood pressure and temperature
- Current medications
- Current symptoms
- They may ask you questions about possible exposure to specific allergens or illnesses and may order diagnostic tests such as a flu swab, strep test, urine test, X-rays, or blood studies. The team creates a treatment plan and may recommend a follow-up appointment within one to two weeks of your sick visit.
We take televisit appointments at Kingsland Pediatrics as well.
