San Antonio Pediatric Care for Illnesses & Injuries
Our Emergency Room handles a wide range of cases, from common conditions such as colds and mild fevers to more serious medical concerns. These may include instances where your infant or child is experiencing difficulty breathing, high fevers, allergic reactions, concussions, or severe diarrhea.
A few conditions that may warrant a trip to the ER include:
- Fever: A fever is your body’s normal response to fighting an infection or illness and can require prompt medical attention.
- Abdominal Pain: Signs of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, bloating and tenderness to a specific area can warrant a trip to see our Board Certified Emergency Medicine Physicians.
- Dehydration: Vomiting, diarrhea, inadequate fluid intake, fever, and excessive sweating can lead to mild or severe dehydration. Signs of lethargy, confusion, rapid breathing, extended fever, or unable to keep fluids down are all signs of severe dehydration and can warrant a visit to the Emergency Room.
- Lacerations: While often minor, any deep cuts, scrapes, and uncontrollable bleeding, can require sutures or other treatment plans to prevent infection.
- Fractures: Our team has the capability of running imaging services that include X-ray & CT and can diagnose and immobilize any fractures, sprains, and strains.
- Head Injuries: A head injury is any sort of injury to your brain, skull, or scalp that can be caused by falls, sports injuries, accidents, or motor vehicle accidents. Even a minor head injury can lead to concussions, brain contusions, or skull fractures. Our team is capable of assessing possible concussions and other head injuries.
