Gangbuk-gu Mirae Pediatrics & Adolescent Clinic, a friendly medical experience even on Sundays!

My throat had been hurting a bit since last night, but the pain was worse when I woke up this morning. I was worried that if I didn't go to the hospital, it might develop into a runny nose or the symptoms would get worse, so I hurriedly searched online this afternoon for a clinic that is open on Sundays. Since I was searching after taking a nap, it was around 3 or 4 PM, past lunchtime, so most nearby clinics were about to close. It was a bit tricky, but fortunately, there was a clinic nearby that was open until 6 PM, so I went there even though it was a pediatric clinic for adults. I visited without an appointment, but perhaps because it was in the afternoon, I was able to enter almost immediately, and the male doctor was very kind. I briefly overheard the consultation of the child before me, and I could hear that the doctor was explaining things very at eye level. When seeing me, the doctor asked if I usually have rhinitis, mentioning that they asked because my nose was slightly swollen. They also noted that my throat was swollen and said that if this leads to a runny nose, they would try giving me a mild cold medicine just in case. They were kind, and I liked that it is located on the 3rd floor inside the supermarket. They only prescribed a 3-day supply, so I plan to go back if my symptoms change. Looking at other reviews, it seems they have long consultation hours on other days and are open even on public holidays and festivals. It’s great for us, but it’s tough for everyone working hard.
