Minor Emergencies: Quick Care for Little Mishaps

Kids are little adventurers, and sometimes their explorations lead to bumps, scrapes, or fevers! At River Valley Pediatrics, we’re here to handle those minor emergencies with speed, care, and a big smile.

🚑 What Counts as a Minor Emergency?
These are the “uh-oh” moments that need quick attention but aren’t life-threatening. Think:
- Small cuts or scrapes that might need stitches.
- Mild fevers or ear infections.
- Sprains or minor burns.
- Allergic reactions (like hives, but not severe).
If you’re unsure, give us a call—we’ll help you decide what to do!

🩹 How We Help:
We’ll see your child quickly, assess the situation, and provide the right treatment—whether it’s a bandage, a prescription, or just some TLC. We’ll also give you tips to prevent future mishaps and keep your little explorer safe.

🌟 Fun Tip for Parents:
Create a “Boo-Boo Kit” at home with colorful bandages, a fun ice pack, and a small toy. It turns minor emergencies into a chance to play doctor together! 🩺
