Sick Visits

No matter how hard you try, every child gets sick. It’s challenging to know when to take your child to the pediatrician or if you child will get better on their own. When your child gets sick, Village Pediatric Group offers sick visits and effective treatments to have them feeling better quickly.

Sick visits involve a medical history review, physical examination, and diagnosing and treating an illness when appropriate. Here are some of the signs and symptoms you should look for when trying to decide if you should schedule a sick visit:

  • A high fever in a child under the age of one
  • A high fever with headaches, stiff neck, vomiting, a rash, or confusion
  • A widespread rash
  • A persistent fever lasting more than three days
  • Vomiting or diarrhea
  • Unusual symptoms lasting more than three days
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Persistent sore throat, headache, earache, or stomachache
  • Symptoms of allergies or asthma
