Sick Visits: Helping Your Child Feel Better, Fast

Sniffles, coughs, and fevers—oh my! When your child isn’t feeling their best, a sick visit at River Valley Pediatrics is just what the doctor ordered. We’ll get your little one back to their giggly self in no time!

🤒 When to Schedule a Sick Visit:
Kids catch bugs all the time, but some symptoms need a doctor’s eye. Bring them in if you notice:
- A fever that won’t go down.
- A cough that’s keeping them up at night.
- Ear pain or a sore throat that won’t quit.
- Vomiting or diarrhea that lasts more than a day.
We’ll figure out what’s going on and get them on the road to recovery.

🩺 What to Expect:
During a sick visit, we’ll do a thorough check-up, run any needed tests (like a strep test), and prescribe the right treatment. We’ll also give you tips for at-home care, like how to keep your child comfy and hydrated.

🌈 Fun Tip for Parents:
Turn recovery time into “cozy time”! Set up a blanket fort, put on their favorite movie, and make some warm soup. It’s a great way to make them feel loved while they rest. 🍲
