COMMON SYMPTOMS

SYMPTOMS WE TREAT

At Midwest Urgent Care, our medical team provides convenient evaluation and treatment for upper respiratory infections, influenza, and other common respiratory illnesses. Upper respiratory infections and the flu can cause a range of symptoms, including:

Coughing and congestion
Sore throat and hoarseness
Runny or stuffy nose
Fever and chills
Headaches and body aches
Fatigue and general discomfort
Sinus pressure and sneezing

Because these symptoms can overlap with other illnesses, our providers can evaluate your symptoms and determine whether testing or additional treatment is appropriate.

TESTING AND TREATMENT

HOW WE HELP

Whether you are feeling under the weather or your symptoms are getting worse, we are here to help you find answers, manage your symptoms, and determine the appropriate next steps for recovery.

Testing
Depending on your symptoms and medical history, our providers may recommend testing for influenza, COVID-19, or other respiratory illnesses when available and clinically appropriate.
Treatment
Treatment depends on the cause and severity of your illness. Care may include recommendations for symptom relief, guidance on hydration and rest, and prescription medications when appropriate. For patients with influenza, antiviral medication may be beneficial in certain cases, especially when started early.
Antibiotics
Antibiotics do not treat viral infections, such as the common cold or flu, but our providers can assess whether your symptoms may indicate a bacterial infection that requires different treatment.

When to Visit Us, and When to Seek Emergency Care

Consider visiting Midwest Urgent Care if your symptoms are worsening, your fever persists, you have significant sinus or throat discomfort, or you are unsure what may be causing your illness. Seek emergency care for severe difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, new confusion, or other signs of a medical emergency.
