We evaluate children with common sick-visit symptoms, including fever, cough, congestion, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, fatigue, and other cold or flu-like concerns. If your child has symptoms that are lingering, getting worse, or making it hard to rest, eat, drink, or return to normal routines, a same-day pediatric evaluation may help.

• Fever
• Cough
• Cold symptoms
• Sore throat
• Nasal congestion
• Runny nose
• Body aches
• Fatigue
• Mild wheezing or respiratory symptoms
• Exposure to flu, strep, RSV, or COVID-19

Because many childhood illnesses can look similar at first, rapid testing can help clarify what may be causing your child’s symptoms. Spokane Pediatric Urgent Care offers rapid testing for strep, influenza, RSV, and COVID-19 when indicated, helping families understand whether symptoms may be related to a common viral illness or strep throat and what steps to take next.

• Rapid strep testing for sore throat and fever
• Rapid flu testing for sudden fever, cough, and body aches
• Rapid RSV testing for cough and respiratory symptoms, especially in younger children
• Rapid COVID-19 testing when symptoms or exposure suggest it may be needed

Bring your child in for urgent care if they have fever that is not improving, a cough that is worsening, sore throat with pain or trouble swallowing, flu-like symptoms, or illness symptoms that are making them more tired, uncomfortable, or difficult to manage at home. Urgent care can also be helpful when you need same-day guidance about testing, symptom monitoring, or whether your child may return to school or daycare.

Seek emergency care right away if your child has severe trouble breathing, bluish lips, dehydration, unusual sleepiness, confusion, seizure activity, or appears very difficult to wake. Fever in very young infants can require urgent higher-level evaluation, and breathing problems, poor fluid intake, or signs of serious illness should not wait.

During the visit, your child may have a symptom review, temperature check, physical exam, and rapid testing based on symptoms and exam findings. After the evaluation, families receive guidance on supportive care, next steps, and when symptoms should be re-checked or escalated for emergency care.

Families want care that is fast, clear, and focused on children. Spokane Pediatric Urgent Care provides same-day pediatric urgent care for common illness concerns in a convenient North Spokane location, with rapid testing available for several common infections when clinically appropriate.
