When to visit an urgent care center
It can be difficult to know when it's best to visit your doctor's office, an emergency room (ER) or an urgent care center. Some medical issues, such as chest pain and heavy bleeding, should always be treated in the ER. Visit an urgent care center if you're experiencing the following conditions:
- Acid reflux
- Asthma
- Bites or stings
- Cold or flu symptoms
- Cuts or wounds that aren't too deep
- Earaches or ear infections
- Fevers
- Migraines
- Minor allergic reactions
- Minor burns
- Rashes or hives
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
- Sore throat or strep throat
- Sprains or strains
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Vomiting or persistent diarrhea
- Warts
