Asthma
At Little Spurs Pediatric Urgent Care, a trusted name in kids urgent care, we are happy to evaluate and treat your child for asthma. We highly recommend they have a primary care provider for persistent issues, but for emergencies, such as an asthma attack, we are available.
Asthma does not go away when your child is not having symptoms. The airways are still inflamed. Your child needs to have a treatment plan, called an Asthma Action Plan, and close follow-up by a healthcare provider.
FAQs
Yes, as a trusted kids urgent care provider, we can promptly treat asthma exacerbations and provide relief during an asthma attack. However, ongoing asthma management and follow-up care should be handled by your child’s primary care provider to ensure in-depth treatment.
Yes, we do provide asthma action plans to help manage your child’s symptoms. However, for ongoing asthma care, including medication refills and regular follow-up, your child should be evaluated by their primary care provider.
At Little Spurs Pediatric Urgent Care, we focus on providing immediate pediatric care and do not offer long-term asthma management or prescription refills.
Yes, we can perform breathing treatments for your child when needed. These treatments often involve administering a nebulized medication to open up airways and make breathing easier during episodes of asthma, bronchitis, or other respiratory issues.
Our skilled urgent care pediatrics team can deliver these treatments safely and effectively. Breathing treatments are typically quick and can provide immediate relief from wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
You should take your child to the doctor immediately if they have trouble breathing, severe wheezing, persistent coughing that doesn’t improve, or difficulty speaking or drinking. These can be signs of a serious asthma attack that needs prompt medical attention.
If your child’s symptoms are mild but not improving with usual treatment, a visit to a pediatric urgent care is recommended for evaluation and breathing treatments.
