From fevers and ear infections to playground injuries and sports-related sprains, Urgentology Care offers evaluation and treatment for many non-emergency health concerns affecting children 12 months and older in Arlington and Colleyville.
Children 12 months and older with a fever, earache or sore throat may be evaluated at urgent care when they are alert, breathing comfortably and able to drink fluids. A provider can examine your child and recommend appropriate testing or treatment.
Urgent care may be appropriate for small cuts, suspected sprains, minor sports injuries and other non-life-threatening injuries. Depending on the injury, your child may need wound care, stitches, an X-ray or supportive treatment.
Seek emergency care for trouble breathing, seizures, severe dehydration with very little urine, significant head injury with vomiting, difficulty waking or other serious symptoms. Babies under 12 months need age-appropriate pediatric evaluation; any fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher in a baby younger than 3 months requires immediate medical assessment. Call 911 for life-threatening symptoms.
For life-threatening symptoms such as severe difficulty breathing, throat swelling, chest pain, signs of stroke, or uncontrolled bleeding, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
