Emergency Care for Children in Houston

Pediatric emergency care at Montrose Emergency Room is prompt medical evaluation and treatment for children with serious, sudden or worsening symptoms. Our ER is open 24/7 and equipped to evaluate common childhood emergencies, with on-site testing available so many concerns can be assessed in a single visit.

Children can become ill quickly, and it is not always easy to tell when a symptom needs emergency care. When your child has a high fever, trouble breathing, a significant injury or another concerning symptom, our team is ready to help. Families do not need an appointment, and the ER is open during the day, overnight, on weekends and on holidays.

Childhood Emergencies

Pediatric Symptoms We Evaluate

Many childhood symptoms can be evaluated in the emergency room. The list below is educational and does not replace an individual medical evaluation. Trust your instincts — if you are worried about your child, seek care.

High fever, especially in infants
Breathing difficulty or fast breathing
Severe coughing or wheezing
Dehydration or reduced wet diapers
Persistent vomiting or diarrhea
Abdominal pain that is severe or worsening
Allergic reactions
Cuts that may need repair
Possible broken bones
Falls and injuries
Head injuries
Signs of a serious infection
Seizures
Unusual sleepiness or confusion

If your child is having trouble breathing, is unresponsive, has a seizure that will not stop, or may be having a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.

When Should I Take My Child to the ER?

Take your child to the emergency room for symptoms that are severe, come on suddenly, or get worse quickly — such as trouble breathing, a high fever in a young infant, a serious injury or head injury, a seizure, signs of dehydration, severe abdominal pain, or unusual sleepiness or confusion. If a symptom may be life-threatening, call 911.

For mild illnesses, a pediatrician or urgent care visit is often appropriate. When symptoms are serious or you are unsure, emergency evaluation is the safer choice. Montrose Emergency Room is open 24/7 and welcomes families without an appointment.

What to Expect

What Happens During a Pediatric ER Visit?

Check-In

Walk in without an appointment. Our team gathers your basic information and the reason for your visit.

Medical Evaluation

An emergency provider reviews your symptoms, history and current condition to guide next steps.

Diagnostic Testing

When appropriate, testing may include labs, EKG, X-ray, CT or ultrasound performed on site.

Treatment & Next Steps

Treatment is based on the findings and may include medication, IV fluids, monitoring or coordination of a higher level of care.

Our team works to keep children as comfortable as possible and to explain each step to you and your child.

On-Site Diagnostics

Pediatric Diagnostic Testing

When testing is medically appropriate for your child, on-site imaging and laboratory services help the care team evaluate the condition without a separate trip to another center. Testing is used selectively, based on the physician's assessment.

CT Scan

CT imaging may help evaluate certain head, chest and abdominal emergencies when ordered by the physician.

Digital X-Ray

X-rays help assess possible fractures, certain chest conditions and other injuries.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound may be used for selected abdominal, pelvic and other evaluations when clinically appropriate.

On-Site Laboratory

Lab testing supports evaluation of infection, dehydration, cardiac concerns and other conditions.

EKG & Cardiac Testing

An EKG and related testing may be used for chest pain, palpitations or other heart-related symptoms.

Testing is selected based on your symptoms, examination and the physician's assessment.

Choosing the Right Care

ER vs Urgent Care for a Child

Urgent care can be appropriate for many mild childhood illnesses. The emergency room is designed for serious, severe or rapidly worsening symptoms and has broader diagnostic and treatment capabilities.

Choose the ER for

Trouble breathing or wheezing
High fever in a young infant
Seizures
Serious injuries or head injuries
Signs of dehydration
Severe abdominal pain
Unusual sleepiness or confusion

Urgent care may fit for

Mild cold symptoms
Minor cuts and scrapes
Mild ear pain
Uncomplicated minor illnesses

If symptoms may be life-threatening, call 911. Read our ER vs Urgent Care guide.

For Parents & Caregivers

Helping Parents Know When Symptoms Are Serious

You know your child best. Some signs deserve prompt attention: breathing that looks fast, labored or noisy; a fever in a baby under three months; poor feeding or far fewer wet diapers; a rash that does not fade when pressed; a child who is unusually hard to wake, limp or very irritable; or an injury with severe pain or deformity. When in doubt, it is reasonable to have your child evaluated.

What Parents Should Bring

In an emergency, come in first. If you are able, it helps to bring:

Your child's photo ID or records, if available
Insurance card, if you have one
A list of medications and doses
Known allergies
Immunization information, if handy
A comfort item for your child

What should I bring for my child?

If you can, bring your insurance card, a list of medications and doses, known allergies, and immunization information. In an emergency, come in first and do not delay care.

ER or urgent care for my child?
