Sick-child care

A familiar face can be comforting when a child needs to see a doctor because of an illness or injury. Our programs are designed to include sick-child visits, so our expert providers can step in more easily when medical needs become more urgent. Same-day or next-day appointments often are available if your child is sick or hurt. 

After hours or on weekends, you can take your child to a Novant Health Urgent Care location. If your child's condition is life-threatening, call 911 and ask to be taken to Novant Health Huntersville Medical Center or Novant Health Hemby Children's Hospital.

Our services for sick and injured children may include:

• Strep tests
• Treatment for ear infections
• Removal of staples and sutures
• Treatment of simple sprains
