Visiting Your Emergency Pediatrician: Resources for Further Reading

When children are active and social, it isn’t uncommon for them to get small cuts and bruises or to catch the common cold. Seemingly minor issues, though, could develop into or indicate a more serious health concern. Having access to after-hours pediatric care can help your child receive the immediate care he or she needs. Talk to your urgent care pediatrician and read the resources below for more information on which services and treatments your after-hours clinic offers.

• Although some cases of dehydration in children can be treated with fluids at home, dehydration can also result in a serious medical emergency. Learn more about the symptoms of heat illness to help you recognize when your child’s health may be threatened.
• If your child is complaining of not feeling well, should you keep him or her home from school? Consult this WebMD guide on different symptoms that may be severe enough for your child to skip school and visit the pediatrician.
• If your child is active or participates in sports, he or she may experience a sprained ankle. Symptoms of a strain include pain, swelling and difficulty walking. Contact your pediatrician if your child exhibits these symptoms and get further testing on the injury to rule out a break or fracture.

Patient Knowledge On-the-Go: WebMD for Android

Has your child been experiencing new or persistent symptoms of sickness? Are these symptoms harmless or do they indicate a more serious health problem? Parents who are empowered and equipped with patient knowledge can help their child to receive the care they need when they need it. Although it is not a replacement for a pediatrician’s expertise or diagnosis, the WebMD app for Android phones can help you recognize and seek medical attention for a variety of pediatric illnesses.

This smart phone application can provide patients with the knowledge they need, in conjunction with their physician, to make an educated decision about their and their children’s health. Features include WebMD’s Symptom Checker, a guide to different drugs and treatments, and first aid information. Just as a pediatric urgent care clinic is available when your regular pediatrician is not, the material provided is also accessible offline, giving patients a continual connection to more information about their health.
