Urgent Care Q&A
What does urgent care entail?
Urgent care is a field of medicine that addresses mild to moderate illness and medical situations. Generally speaking, urgent care does not handle life-threatening conditions.
However, urgent care does come in handy to provide care for issues that require attention within 24 hours.
When should I make an urgent care appointment?
You can make an urgent care appointment for various reasons, though it is important to remember that urgent care does not treat severe or chronic health issues. It is best to contact your primary care physician to discuss any treatment for ongoing medical conditions.
As a rule of thumb, urgent care visits can address any of the following symptoms:
- Fever
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Sore throat
- Runny nose
- Cough
- Swollen glands
- Pains and aches
While potentially harmless and easily treatable, these symptoms may be a sign of a more significant condition, so the faster you book an appointment at Excel Family Medical & Urgent Care, the higher your chances of avoiding sickness. You can also walk-in, without an appointment, for urgent care services.
