Pediatric Urgent Care Info
We realize that many urgent health care needs can occur after hours, when your child’s primary care provider may not be available. That’s why Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego offers pediatric urgent care services in neighborhoods around San Diego for children who need medical attention. View our locations.
When to Go to Urgent Care
Take your child to Urgent Care for minor illnesses and injuries, including:
- Sprains, strains or contusions (deep bruises)
- Minor lacerations
- Mild to moderate asthma attacks
- Ear infections
- Upper respiratory infections
- Coughs and congestion
- Vomiting and diarrhea
- Sore throats
- Insect bites and rashes
Our interactive Symptom Checker can walk you through your child’s symptoms to determine the best course of action—emergency room, urgent care, primary care, and/or home care.
Urgent care is NOT a replacement for your child’s primary care provider. We do not provide adult care, well-child care, emergency care or major trauma care or treat complex orthopedic injuries. To ensure that Urgent Care is the right place for the treatment of your child’s medical needs, please contact your primary medical care provider.
