Common Illnesses

Pediatric patients often have very common illnesses that can be assessed over tele-medicine. Here are some common conditions we can assess and possibly treat over a video visit:

• Common Cold
• Sore Throat (may require in-person evaluation if strep throat is suspected)
• Influenza
• Swimmer’s Ear
• Cough
• Pink Eye
• Stye

Be seen at Little Spurs on telemedicine if:

• The illness is mild
• You want recommendations for over-the-counter medications for your child
• You have other concerns or questions

Be seen at Little Spurs in-person if:

• Your child is short of breath
• If in-house testing is needed
• You believe they might need a breathing treatment or stronger medications prescribed
• Your child starts acting very sick

Go to the emergency room if:

• Is having difficulty breathing or swallowing
• Has a history of severe illness
