What is a same-day sick visit?

A same-day sick visit is an appointment designed to provide quick medical attention when your child suddenly becomes ill. Instead of waiting days for a regular appointment, parents can bring their child in on the same day symptoms begin.

These visits are ideal for everyday, non-emergency problems such as:

Sore throats
Ear infections
Colds and flu
Stomach bugs
Rashes
Injuries

The goal is to help children feel better faster while giving parents peace of mind that a pediatric professional is evaluating their child’s symptoms.

When should I schedule a same-day sick visit?

You should schedule a same-day appointment if your child has symptoms that aren’t improving with basic home care or are worsening. Examples include:

A high or persistent fever
Ear pain
Vomiting and/or diarrhea
Coughing that disrupts sleep
Unusual fatigue
Cuts and mild burns
Strains and sprains
Asthma or allergy flare-ups

If your child seems uncomfortable or isn’t acting like themselves, a same-day evaluation can help determine whether it’s something minor or a sign of a more serious condition that needs treatment.

What happens during a same-day sick visit?

During a same-day sick visit, the Bloom Pediatrics team reviews your child’s symptoms, medical history, and any recent exposures to illness. They perform a thorough physical exam and may order tests, such as rapid strep, flu, or COVID, to confirm a diagnosis.

Next, your provider suggests personalized treatment and explains what steps you can take at home to help your child recover comfortably.

Can same-day visits help avoid the ER?

In many cases, same-day pediatric visits can prevent unnecessary trips to the emergency room. Most childhood illnesses, like ear infections, minor injuries, and respiratory infections, are safely treatable in the Bloom Pediatrics office.

However, if your child is having severe breathing difficulty, shows signs of significant dehydration, or has an injury that requires immediate attention, you should go to the ER or call emergency services.

How do I prepare for a same-day sick visit?

Bring a list of your child’s symptoms, recent medications, and any changes in appetite, sleep, or behavior. If possible, take note of temperature readings and anything that seems to make symptoms better or worse.

Same-day sick visits make it easier for parents to access prompt care and help children recover quickly. To request a same-day in-person or telehealth sick visit, call Bloom Pediatrics or book one online today.
