24 Hour No Wait Emergency Room for Kids

If your child’s fever reaches 102 °F (39 °C) or higher and lasts more than 24 hours—especially if accompanied by lethargy, rash, difficulty breathing, or refusal to drink fluids—it’s time to visit The Emergency Center for prompt evaluation. For infants under 3 months old, any rectal temperature of 100.4 °F (38 °C) or higher requires immediate medical attention, as newborns are at greater risk for serious infections like meningitis or sepsis. Early evaluation helps rule out these conditions and allows treatment to begin right away.

Our board-certified emergency physicians can promptly administer IV fluids and essential electrolytes, rapidly restoring hydration and preventing serious complications.
