Acute Care
Acute care provides fast, effective treatment for sudden, non-life-threatening illnesses and
injuries. Our urgent care team is here to address your immediate health concerns with prompt
attention, ensuring you receive the care you need when it matters most.
Fever
A fever, or elevated body temperature, is often a sign that your body is fighting off an infection.
While fevers can cause discomfort, they are usually not dangerous and often resolve on their
own. However, if the fever is very high or persists, it may require medical attention, especially in
young children or those with other health conditions. At Expedite Urgent Care, we can help
determine the cause of the fever and provide the appropriate treatment to help you or your child
feel better quickly.
If a child experiences a seizure related to fever, go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
Sore Throat
A sore throat can be both uncomfortable and disruptive, but it’s often due to a minor illness that
usually clears up on its own. Common culprits include viral infections like the common cold,
laryngitis, or mononucleosis, as well as bacterial infections such as strep throat or tonsillitis.
Persistent sore throats can also result from irritants like dry air, smoking, or stomach acid reflux
(GERD).
It’s important to avoid using antibiotics unnecessarily, as they are ineffective against viral
infections and can cause unwanted side effects. However, if you experience persistent pain,
fever, or irritation, it’s best to seek medical attention. At Expedite Urgent Care, we can perform a
strep test and provide the right treatment based on the underlying cause.
Cough
A cough is a common reflex action that helps clear your airways of irritants like mucus, smoke,
or allergens. While it’s often a symptom of a minor condition such as a cold, flu, or allergies, a
persistent or severe cough can indicate a more serious underlying issue like bronchitis,
pneumonia, or asthma.
At Expedite Urgent Care, we evaluate the cause of your cough and provide targeted treatment
to relieve your symptoms and address the root cause. Whether it’s a simple cold or something
more serious, we’re here to help you breathe easier and feel better.
Asthma
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the
airways, leading to difficulty breathing, wheezing, and coughing. Triggers can include allergens,
exercise, cold air, or stress. Asthma symptoms can range from mild to severe and may require
urgent medical attention during an attack.
At Expedite Urgent Care, we offer prompt evaluation and management of asthma symptoms.
Our team can provide breathing treatments, medications, and guidance on long-term asthma
control to help you manage your condition and prevent future flare-ups. Breathe easier with our
expert care and support.
Ear Pain
Ear pain can be caused by various factors, including infections, inflammation, or injuries.
Common causes include ear infections, fluid buildup, or issues with the ear canal or eardrum. It
can also result from sinus infections, allergies, or even changes in altitude.
At Expedite Urgent Care, we assess and treat the underlying cause of ear pain. Whether you’re
experiencing sharp, throbbing pain or discomfort, our team provides comprehensive evaluation
and treatment options to relieve your symptoms and address the root issue.
Ear Cleaning
Ear cleaning is a procedure designed to remove excess earwax or debris that may cause
discomfort or affect hearing. Over time, earwax can build up and potentially lead to symptoms
like itching, muffled hearing, or a feeling of fullness in the ear.
At Expedite Urgent Care, our skilled professionals use safe and effective techniques to clean
your ears and relieve any blockage. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms from earwax
buildup or need a routine ear cleaning, we provide thorough care to ensure your ears are clean
and healthy.
Abdominal Pain
Abdominal pain can be caused by a variety of issues, ranging from mild and temporary to more
serious conditions. It might result from common issues like indigestion, gas, or muscle strain,
but it can also be a sign of conditions such as appendicitis, gallstones, or a gastrointestinal
infection.
At Expedite Urgent Care, we provide a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause
of your abdominal pain. Our experienced team will assess your symptoms, perform necessary
tests, and offer appropriate treatment to address the root cause and help you find relief. If you’re
experiencing persistent or severe abdominal pain, we’re here to provide prompt and effective
care.
Allergies
Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to substances (allergens) that are
generally harmless, such as pollen, dust, pet dander, or certain foods. Symptoms can range
from mild, such as sneezing and a runny nose, to severe, like shortness of breath or
anaphylaxis.
At Expedite Urgent Care, we offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment for allergies. Our
team can help identify potential allergens, provide relief for symptoms, and develop a
management plan tailored to your needs. If you’re struggling with allergy symptoms or need
guidance on managing your allergies effectively, we’re here to help.
Vomiting
Nausea and vomiting are closely related symptoms that can significantly impact your comfort
and well-being.
– Nausea is the sensation of an unsettled stomach that often precedes vomiting. It can be
caused by a variety of factors including motion sickness, food poisoning, medication side
effects, or more serious health conditions.
– Vomiting is the act of forcefully expelling stomach contents through the mouth. It can be
triggered by nausea, gastrointestinal infections, or other underlying conditions.
Both symptoms can be distressing and may indicate an underlying issue that requires attention.
At Expedite Urgent Care, we offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment to address the root
causes of nausea and vomiting, helping you feel better and return to your daily activities. If you
are experiencing persistent symptoms, our team is here to provide the care you need.
Nosebleeds
Nosebleeds, or epistaxis, occur when the blood vessels inside the nose break and bleed. They
can be caused by a range of factors including dry air, nasal irritation, infections, or trauma.
While often harmless, frequent or severe nosebleeds can signal underlying health issues or
require medical attention.
At Expedite Urgent Care, we provide prompt evaluation and treatment for nosebleeds. Our
medical team will assess the cause of your symptoms and offer appropriate care to help stop
the bleeding and prevent future occurrences. If you’re experiencing persistent or severe
nosebleeds, don’t hesitate to seek our assistance.
