Kids IV Therapy
When your child doesn’t feel well, everything feels urgent. Maybe they’ve been throwing up, they won’t drink fluids, or they’re wiped out after a long day of travel. As a parent, it’s stressful—especially when you’re trying to decide what’s safe to handle at home and what needs urgent care.

Mobile IV Hydration for Children Ages 3+
At PureIV, we provide mobile IV therapy for pediatrics, including children starting at age 3. We come to your home, office, or hotel so your child can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. Our pediatric calls are handled by specialized providers experienced with kids, and we take a professional, safety-first approach. Important scheduling note: Same-day service is often possible, but we do not promise “within the hour” arrival for pediatric visits because we dispatch specialized pediatric-experienced providers to these calls.
Pediatric IV Therapy
What It Is
Our role is supportive hydration and wellness care when it’s appropriate and safe.
What it is
Pediatric IV therapy is a way to deliver fluids and electrolytes (and, when appropriate, micronutrients) directly into the bloodstream through a vein. Families often consider IV hydration when a child is dehydrated or can’t keep up with fluids by mouth.
What it isn’t
Pediatric IV therapy is not:
- A cure for illness
- A replacement for emergency care
- A substitute for a pediatrician’s evaluation when symptoms are severe
- A way to “push through” serious illness at home
What Ages Do You Treat?
We treat pediatric patients starting at age 3.
If your child is under 3, or if symptoms are severe, we recommend medical evaluation through your pediatrician, urgent care, or the ER depending on symptoms.
Common Concerns
Common Reasons Parents Ask About Kids IV Hydration
Parents usually reach out because their child is struggling with hydration. Common situations include:
Every child is different. Our provider and nurse practitioner will review symptoms and health history to determine if IV therapy is appropriate.
Dehydration from stomach bugs
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Not wanting to drink
- Low appetite
Dehydration from fever or illness
- Fever and sweating
- Sore throat making it hard to drink
- Fatigue and low energy
Travel-related dehydration
- Long flights and dry air
- Busy travel days with less water
- Jet lag and poor sleep
Heat exposure
- Playing outside in hot weather
- Sports practices or tournaments
- Not drinking enough during activity
Signs Your Child Might Be Dehydrated
Kids can become dehydrated faster than adults. Signs can include:
- Dry mouth or cracked lips
- Fewer wet diapers / less urination (or not peeing much for their age)
- Dark urine
- No tears when crying
- Sleepiness, low energy, or unusual fussiness
- Dizziness (in older kids)
- Headache
- Rapid heartbeat
- Sunken eyes (in some cases)
If dehydration seems severe, seek medical care right away.
When to Go to the ER Instead
Some symptoms should be treated as urgent or emergency issues. Seek urgent care or emergency care if your child has:
- Trouble breathing
- Blue lips or severe wheezing
- Confusion, extreme lethargy, or difficulty waking
- Seizure
- Severe abdominal pain
- Blood in vomit or stool
- Signs of severe dehydration (very little urination, fainting, extreme weakness)
- Persistent vomiting where they can’t keep any fluids down
- A very high fever or fever that concerns you (especially in younger children)
- Symptoms that rapidly worsen
If you’re unsure, it’s always safer to get evaluated.
How Pediatric IV Hydration May Help
IV hydration may help support:
- Rehydration when oral fluids aren’t enough
- Electrolyte balance (depending on the IV option and clinical appropriateness)
- Overall comfort when a child is depleted from illness, heat, or travel
We keep expectations realistic and compliant: IV therapy is supportive care. It does not “cure” infections or replace medical treatment when needed.

Safety Commitment
Safety and Parent Considerations
Pediatric IV therapy should always be approached carefully. Safety depends on:
- The child’s age (we start at 3+)
- Symptoms and severity
- Medical history
- Current medications
- Whether the child can be safely treated outside a clinic setting
If our provider believes your child needs a higher level of care, we’ll tell you.

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
What ages do you treat?
We treat kids starting at age 3.
Can you come to our home or hotel?
Yes. We’re mobile and can come to your home, office, or hotel (based on availability and service area).
Is same-day service available?
Often yes. Pediatric visits are scheduled with specialized providers experienced with kids, so we do not promise “within the hour” arrival.
Is IV therapy safe for kids?
It can be safe when provided by qualified clinicians with appropriate screening. Our pediatric calls are handled by providers experienced with kiddos. There are still risks (like bruising, infection, vein irritation, blood clot), and we evaluate appropriateness before starting.
What if my child is scared of needles?
That’s common. Our providers use a calm, kid-friendly approach and explain steps in age-appropriate language. A parent can stay close for comfort.
Does an IV cure a stomach bug?
No. IV hydration does not cure infections. It may support hydration while your child recovers.
When should we go to the ER instead?
Go to the ER for trouble breathing, confusion, seizure, severe dehydration, blood in vomit/stool, severe abdominal pain, or symptoms that rapidly worsen.
How do I book the fastest?
