What Symptoms Should You Watch for in Kids?
Children may struggle to explain what they feel, which is why knowing the warning signs of a medical emergency is vital. At our children’s emergency room, we carefully evaluate even subtle symptoms to ensure nothing is overlooked.
High Fever or Seizures
Persistent fever above 104°F, especially with seizures, signals the need for urgent care.
Difficulty Breathing or Wheezing
Shortness of breath or severe asthma attacks require immediate medical attention.
Severe Vomiting or Dehydration
Ongoing vomiting, refusal to drink fluids, or sunken eyes are red flags.
Sudden Severe Pain
Whether abdominal, chest, or head pain, intense discomfort in children must be evaluated.
Head Injuries
Loss of consciousness, dizziness, or vomiting after a fall may indicate a concussion or more serious trauma.
Unusual Rash or Stiff Neck
Could point to infections like meningitis that need emergency treatment.
Our kids ER physicians encourage parents to seek help anytime symptoms seem unusual, persistent, or rapidly worsening.

What Could Pediatric Emergencies Mean?
Medical conditions affecting children can vary widely. At our Pediatrics ER in Pasadena, we often diagnose and treat emergencies such as:
Respiratory Conditions
Asthma attacks, bronchiolitis, and pneumonia can escalate quickly without urgent intervention.
Infections
From ear infections and strep throat to more severe illnesses like meningitis or sepsis, infections need careful evaluation.
Gastrointestinal Issues
Severe vomiting, diarrhea, appendicitis, or constipation can all cause significant distress in children.
Injuries and Trauma
Falls, broken bones, sprains, or head injuries require immediate assessment to prevent complications.
Allergic Reactions
Severe food or insect allergies can cause dangerous reactions requiring emergency medication and monitoring.
Neurological Issues
Seizures or sudden changes in behavior may indicate neurological conditions that need urgent attention.
Chronic Conditions
Children with diabetes, heart problems, or immune system issues often need rapid stabilization during flare-ups.
Our children’s ER is equipped to handle all these situations with advanced testing, imaging, and treatments on-site.
