What Pediatric Urgent Care Is For

Pediatric urgent care is for non-life-threatening, but urgent health issues that can't wait for a regular pediatrician's office to open.

Examples include:

  • Ear infections

  • Minor cuts needing stitches

  • Sprains or minor fractures

  • Moderate fevers without severe symptoms

  • Vomiting or diarrhea without dehydration

When You Might Not Need Pediatric Urgent Care

Many common childhood symptoms can be monitored at home or seen during a regular pediatric visit:

  • Mild cold or cough

  • Low-grade fever that responds to medicine

  • Small scrapes or bruises

  • Minor rashes without swelling or trouble breathing

Check Before You Go—It Could Save Hours

The Ubie AI Symptom Checker:

  1. Asks the same questions a nurse would during an intake call.

  2. Analyzes your child's symptoms using up-to-date pediatric guidelines.

  3. Recommends the right next step—urgent care, ER, pediatrician, or home care.

You'll know exactly what to do before you even grab the car keys.

Pediatric Urgent Care Visits Take Time (and Money)

An average pediatric urgent care visit can cost $150–$250 before tests—and that's if there's no long wait. Ubie is free, works from your phone, and takes less than 3 minutes.

Not every fever, cough, or bump needs an immediate trip to pediatric urgent care.

When to Seek Pediatric Urgent Care Immediately

If the symptom checker says urgent care is needed, go right away for:

  • High fever (especially in infants)

  • Signs of dehydration

  • Deep cuts or wounds

  • Possible broken bones

  • Sudden, severe pain
