Guidance When It's Urgent

When your child develops new symptoms or feels worse after office hours, you may wonder if they need care tonight or can wait until morning. Call your Pediatric Affiliates office to speak with someone. They’ll listen to your concerns and guide you on what to do next.

Our on-call provider may ask when symptoms started, what has changed, and whether you’ve given your child any medication. Be ready to share any relevant health history and describe how your child is eating, drinking, and acting.

Based on what you share, the provider may recommend care at home, a visit to our office, or seeking care right away.

Preparing for Your Conversation

Before calling Pediatric Affiliates after hours, take a moment to gather a few details. This gives our on-call provider a clearer picture of how your child is doing so they can guide you on next steps.

What to Have Ready

  • Your child’s name and date of birth
  • When symptoms began and how your child is feeling now
  • Any temperature readings and when they were taken
  • The name and dose of any medications and when it was given
  • Any relevant medical conditions or known allergies
  • Changes in eating, drinking, sleep, activity, or bathroom habits

If possible, stay near your child during the call so you can describe their symptoms and how they’re acting. Keep a pen and paper handy to jot down the provider’s advice, symptoms to watch for, and any follow-up instructions.
