I'm glad that she doesn't have croup but the ear infection sucks : / </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/er-or-urgent-care#post-396356 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 07:28:09 +0000 mediagirl 396356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea I feel so helpless.

It was just (haha "just") the cough that was worrying us. We took her to urgent care. We have good ones near us, the one we went to is a Duke Medical Center. Her lungs are clear but she has an ear infection. Gah.. I hate it for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/er-or-urgent-care#post-396083 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:37:33 +0000 LAGS 396083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just for croupy cough, I would say urgent care. If her breathing was off I'd lean ER. Thinking of you guys :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/er-or-urgent-care#post-396063 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:23:45 +0000 HLK208 396063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ER. I hope she's okay :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/er-or-urgent-care#post-395986 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:29:52 +0000 mrsmenow 395986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is she having trouble breathing or just a croupy cough? If there is any concern with the way she is breath (rapidly, shallow, labored) I would go to the ER. If not I would go to the Urgent Care, they treat babies all the time around here and you generally get in and out faster. You will get in quickly in the ER, but might spend a lot of time waiting to be discharged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/er-or-urgent-care#post-395957 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:12:58 +0000 mrs. wagon 395957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say ER, but wherever you go make sure you stress the fact that she's having trouble breathing. That will get you seen the fastest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/er-or-urgent-care#post-395940 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:06:47 +0000 T-Mom 395940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Urgent care around where I am is good.. I have waited a really long time at the ER and they totally did not know how to handle and infant. They missed an ear infection and totally could not catheterize my DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/er-or-urgent-care#post-395905 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:49:59 +0000 prettylizy 395905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote ER, but we don't have urgent care centres around here </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/er-or-urgent-care#post-395903 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:48:36 +0000 Ash 395903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say urgent care.... but is she experiencing any other symptoms? temp? increased work of breathing? If so, then I might say ER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/er-or-urgent-care#post-395893 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:39:05 +0000 boiledpnut 395893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely the ER for anything infant related. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/er-or-urgent-care#post-395887 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:35:18 +0000 autumnlove 395887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ER! :-( hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/er-or-urgent-care#post-395886 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:34:21 +0000 banana 395886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely ER!

Gosh, I've been to both and the ER was faster! They are probably better, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/er-or-urgent-care#post-395863 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:15:31 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 395863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if you're worried about her breathing, i think i might do the ER. i'm not sure how equipped urgent care facilities are to deal with infants.</p> <p>good luck! the croupy cough is the worst! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/er-or-urgent-care#post-395860 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:14:03 +0000 mediagirl 395860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Which would you take your baby to if the nurse line suggested you have her seen for a croupy cough? </p>
