Why pediatric urgent care vs ER?
How do you know if you should take your child to a children’s urgent care or emergency room?
This will depend on the type of care needed. A pediatric urgent care is suitable for non-life threatening injuries and illnesses like cuts, scrapes and common illnesses. A kids’ urgent care can help save you time and money for these conditions.
An emergency room is best for serious conditions like difficulty breathing or severe injuries. Sometimes an emergency room visit could be required, depending on the type of care your child needs.
Types of treatment offered at children’s urgent care
A kids’ urgent care center can provide care for a variety of common health concerns. We are open when your pediatrician's office might be closed, so you can get the attention you need. Our Children’s Memorial Hermann-GoHealth pediatric urgent care center can diagnose and treat most common illnesses, such as strep throat. We can also help with minor injuries, scrapes, sprains and strains at our conveniently located center.

Four common youth sports injuries
While youth sports have many benefits for young people, including physical fitness, discipline and teamwork, these activities pose a risk of injury. Injury rates in sports have risen over the past decade due to more intense training and the inclusion of younger children in competitive sports and seasonal sports that are now played year-round.
Occupational hazards leading to bronchitis
Certain occupations can expose you to excessive dust, smoke or chemicals that may eventually lead to breathing issues. Bronchitis is one of the breathing conditions that can be triggered by environmental hazards. It is an inflammation of the lungs’ breathing tubes that leads to a chronic cough.
