At All Better Pediatrics, we understand the frustration of being put on hold or a callback list when you need to speak to a doctor urgently, especially when it concerns your child’s health! That is why we are committed to providing you with a direct line to our pediatricians around the clock and the calendar. That said, we kindly ask that you consider our pediatricians’ private time when considering if you should call them after hours or not. For your convenience, we have compiled a list of instances that would warrant a call to one of our pediatricians on our after-hours tip sheets. Some of these instances include the following: - If your newborn under the age of two months has a temperature of 100.4°F or higher - If your child is in severe pain following an immunization - If you notice blood in your child’s stool or vomit - If your child is experiencing severe stomach pain while vomiting - If your child is breathing rapidly or having difficulty breathing - If your child’s sore throat is accompanied by excessive drooling or severe difficulty with swallowing - If your child has a rash with red or purple-colored spots that are tender to touch or red streaks - If your child is unable to see or has severe eye pain due to pink eye For more instances, check out our after-hours tip sheets! If your child requires urgent medical attention in the evening or on the weekend, call our on-call pediatrician at All Better Pediatrics! The number to reach us at is (901) 761-1880.
