Heart attacks, serious burns, and broken bones are very serious emergencies, but some health issues are a bit harder to call.
From pink eye to poisoning, here is where to go to get the best care for your ailments.
For absolute emergencies requiring immediate care, always know the location of your nearest hospital for injuries such as: major head trauma, coughing up/vomiting blood, severe burns, unexpected paralysis, suspected poisoning, or even emotional distress including suicidal or homicidal feelings.
An urgent care center can treat an illness or condition within 24 hours to avoid further disability or death.
Conditions that should be treated here include: rising temperatures, stomach flu's, sprains/strains, earache, and sore throats.
An express care center typically treats teens and adults. They are usually available after hours and on weekends as well, treating common problems such as: seasonal allergies, minor cold and flu symptoms, pink eye, sinus infections, and urinary tract infections.
Go to your doctor’s office for routine checkups.
Also, all of these should be preceded by preventative care measures with your primary care doctor.
They will have your medical files and history and can usually meet you in an urgent care or emergency situation.
