At Prime Health Urgent Care, we are fully equipped to handle allergic reactions in children, whether they are mild or severe. Our trained professionals and state-of-the-art medical equipment ensure that your child receives the best care promptly.

Allergic reactions can range from mild conditions like rashes, itching, hives, or sneezing to more severe ones such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or even loss of consciousness due to conditions like anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially fatal allergic reaction. Our urgent care center is prepared to handle these situations. For mild reactions, we can often manage the situation with over-the-counter antihistamines or topical creams.

In addition to providing immediate treatment, we also offer necessary follow-up care. If the allergic reaction is severe or recurrent, we can refer your child to an allergist for further tests, evaluation, and management. This specialist can identify the specific allergen(s) triggering your child’s reactions and develop a personalized treatment plan, which may consist of preventative measures and emergency action plans.

PrimeHealth Urgent Care is a facility that’s open on weekends and holidays. However, hours of operation can differ depending on the specific day. While some urgent care centers operate 24/7, we have specific operating hours, which can be conveniently checked on our official website. The aim is to extend their hours as much as possible to accommodate the medical needs of families and children.

The importance of prompt medical attention for children is well understood. That’s why they offer extended hours, which could include late evening on weekdays and operation from morning to early evening on weekends. They also strive to remain open on major holidays like Christmas, New Year’s Day, and Thanksgiving.

The extended hours at PrimeHealth Urgent Care offer convenience for families. They can seek immediate medical attention for their children when primary care pediatricians might not be available. This prompt access to care ensures timely diagnosis and treatment, reducing discomfort and potential complications.

While we can handle many non-life-threatening conditions, it’s essential to understand they are not equipped to manage severe emergencies. If your child is experiencing severe pain, difficulty breathing, or any other life-threatening symptoms, it’s crucial to call 911 or seek emergency department care as soon as possible.

We understand the unique needs of pediatric patients. Our pediatric urgent care services are designed to accommodate young individuals – from newborns to young adults up to 21 years of age. We also extend our services to older patients with chronic health conditions that started in their childhood.

Our team of healthcare professionals, including pediatricians, nurses, and physician assistants, are not only experienced and trained to diagnose and treat a whole spectrum of conditions common in this age group but also provide immediate and accessible healthcare when needed. Whether it’s a routine infection, injury, or a severe condition that requires swift intervention, rest assured that we are equipped to handle it while providing age-appropriate care.

We are a good substitute for families in need of emergency care for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries of their children beyond regular business hours or when their primary care provider is unavailable. We prioritize effective communication with both young patients and their parents or caregivers, aiming to reduce the stress and anxiety that can often accompany a visit to an urgent care center.

We understand that medical emergencies can arise at any time and can be particularly stressful when they involve your child. When the primary care physician of your child is not available or you need immediate care, our urgent care center offers accessible, convenient, and comprehensive medical care. Our team is staffed by physicians trained in emergency medicine and primary care, experienced in treating a wide range of medical conditions across all age groups, including children.

Although the availability of pediatric specialists may vary, our urgent care center is equipped to handle most non-life-threatening pediatric conditions. Our physicians are aptly trained to diagnose and treat a variety of illnesses and injuries in children. However, in scenarios where a child presents with a complex or persistent medical condition or if the diagnosis or treatment requires specialized knowledge or equipment, a pediatric specialist may be necessary.

The types of pediatric cases that our doctors can handle include general pediatrics, pediatric pulmonology (respiratory issues), pediatric gastroenterology (digestive issues), pediatric urology (urinary issues), and pediatric orthopedics (bone and joint issues). In cases where a pediatric specialist is required, our urgent care physicians will issue an appropriate referral, which may involve a visit to a local specialist’s office or a transfer to a nearby children’s hospital. Rest assured, the team will work closely with the specialist to ensure a smooth transition of care.
