What are sick visits?

A sick visit is a scheduled appointment with your pediatrician to address new or worsening symptoms or health complications. Sick visits in El Paso can cover a child’s specific health problem, like illnesses or injury, or management for chronic, ongoing health problems and/or medications. Common examples include:

- Flu
- Strep throat
- Ear infections
- Injury
- Anxiety or depression
- ADHD management
- Other chronic conditions

A sick visit allows parents to ask their pediatricians about their child’s condition and anticipated recovery or treatment strategy.

What to Expect During a Sick Visit

During a sick visit, our pediatricians will perform a physical examination. Generally, this includes assessing the patient’s lungs, heart, temperature, and blood pressure. Our team will review your child’s symptoms to identify the underlying condition and assign a treatment plan for a speedy recovery.

You can usually expect treatment to be given on the same day, which can include medication and instructions on how to follow through with the treatment plan at home.

When to Schedule a Sick Visit

If your child is experiencing persistent discomfort and over-the-counter medication yields no results, you should schedule an appointment with one of our pediatricians. Generally, if your child is experiencing one of the following symptoms, schedule a same-day sick visit appointment:

- A fever higher than 100.4
- Aching muscles
- Chills and sweats
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Dry cough
- Sore throat

If there are signs of difficulty breathing, chest pain, or persistent vomiting, call 911 or go to the emergency room, as these may be signs of a medical emergency.
