When you get sick, everything usually starts out as minor. Sometimes your symptoms are a nuisance but eventually clear up on their own. Other times, symptoms steadily get worse and more begin to develop. The last thing you want is to feel worse than you did the day before. If you are tired of waiting out feeling achy and stuffy, stop by AFC Urgent Care Narberth.
Here at our walk-in medical clinic, our staff are experts in diagnosing a variety of illnesses. We will match the right treatment with the right illness to ensure you get onto the road of recovery as fast as possible. A common complaint from our neighbors in the Narberth area is cold symptoms. These seem like minor inconveniences, but they could be masking a more serious issue that requires professional diagnosis and treatment.
Our board-certified provider can help anyone near Narberth if you are showing these symptoms. Simply walk up to our medical clinic and see one of our providers, no appointment is necessary. Our provider will give you a thorough examination and give you the high-quality treatment you require at a very affordable cost. Instead of waiting for hours in an emergency room, bring your severe cold symptoms to AFC Urgent Care Narberth.
Getting a correct diagnosis is the first step in a quick recovery. Our providers are highly skilled in knowing the difference between a cold, an allergy, or sinusitis. Below are the main differences between these three illnesses and the clues to look for if you are feeling a little under the weather.
If you come down with a sore throat and have aches throughout your body, then you might just have a cold. It is not uncommon to have a fever accompanying these symptoms also. Most of the time, a cold will work its way through your body in a few days, and you will start to feel better on your own. This recovery can be sped up, and symptoms lessened with common over-the-counter cold medicines. However, if a cold takes a tighter hold on you, prescription medication may be needed. Therefore, a diagnosis from a provider is important. They will prescribe the right medicine to treat the right illness. A great way to lessen the symptoms of a cold is not to catch it in the first place. A flu shot will protect you from this season’s most likely flu strains, and most shots are covered by your insurance carrier.
While a cold brings fevers or aches, allergies usually arrive with runny, stuffy noses and watery, itchy eyes. These appear after you are exposed to an allergen. People most commonly experience seasonal allergies or can be allergic to certain types of pets. There are some over-the-counter medications that can suppress these symptoms for a time, but it is often better just to avoid these allergens altogether if possible.
If your face feels swollen around the cheeks and forehead, you may have a painful illness called sinusitis. Other clues to being sick with this are a stuffy nose and occasionally colored mucus. This uncomfortable condition can last up to 4 weeks. Our provider will be able to diagnose this, so you get the proper medication for your treatment.
Another symptom that can pop up when you have a cold is the buildup of earwax. This, over time, can lead to a very painful and uncomfortable problem. You should never try to clean out hardened ear wax yourself. Come to our walk-in urgent care center and have one of our experienced providers flush out your earwax. They will do it safely so as not to cause any further problems.
At AFC Urgent Care Narberth, you can rest assured we will diagnose, treat, and send you on your way as quickly as possible. You will find that not only is the wait time less than in a traditional emergency room, but in most cases, the costs are also less. We will put you on the road to recovery so you can return to your activities without feeling awful.
Our walk-in medical clinic never requires an appointment. You can see one of our highly-experienced providers anytime during the week. Take advantage of our extended hours and weekend hours to fit us best into your schedule. We look forward to serving you soon!
