When to Take an Infant to Urgent Care After an Accident
Sunday, September 15th, 2019
Whenever your child has an accident, it can be a bit terrifying. Infants can cry very loudly and very hard if they are hurt, even if the injury is minor. It can be difficult to know when your infant’s accident requires medical care. No matter how careful you are, your infant could have an accident, especially if they are learning to crawl or walk. It is important to know when to take them to the doctor and when at home care is enough. Here are some signs you need to take your infant to urgent care.
