Does your doctor mind checking out a sibling during a sick visit?

We made an appointment for DD because she has a high fever, pink eye, diarrhea, and a cough. One of my DS has similar symptoms (pink eye, coughing)
Do you think it is a huge deal to ask the doctor to take a look at my DS as well? I guess what I'm trying to avoid is paying $25.00 copay for each and having to make seperate appts.

Do offices make a big deal about this?

No, not at all. They have not given me a problem but I only did it once.

If they check out two kids-it's two co-pays at my place. But they usually will make it 1 appt (or back to back appointments) for sick visits.

At my old ped office, they had a sign up stating it would be 2 co-pays.
