Can you take a child to urgent care?

You certainly can take your child to urgent care under many circumstances. Most urgent care clinics can see patients of any age, including children, and provide pediatric urgent care. It’s important to keep in mind, though, that urgent care is for non-emergency health situations only. For emergency situations, the ER (emergency room) is the only option for care. An example of an emergency situation for a child is fever in an infant.

There are lots of instances, though, when urgent care is the best choice for healthcare. You should go to urgent care whenever a situation is non-life-threatening but urgent, like when your child:

• Has a minor sports injury or another injury
• Has a minor illness like the flu
• Needs a physical exam right away for sports or school
• Is behind in their immunization schedule and needs a shot
• And in other similar situations

Urgent care can provide non-emergency care quicker than the ER, a physician, or a pediatrician can. Urgent care is also quite affordable for many people.

Can I get my child’s prescription from an urgent care provider?

This is another service urgent care can provide! If your child needs a prescription written up, urgent care can do this for you, or if your child needs a prescription refilled, urgent care can do this instead. After, they can send the prescription to your neighborhood pharmacy for easy pickup. You can get many other services from an urgent care provider, all available on a walk-in basis.
