When you have an acute health problem that comes up, you don’t want your symptoms to continue for too long. Sick visits allow you to get a quick, accurate diagnosis so effective treatments can begin.
Your sick visit entails telling the team at Four Peaks Internal Medicine about all of your symptoms. Depending on the nature of your visit, you might need X-rays or diagnostic testing. The team gets to the root issue and provides the right treatment, whether it means bracing an injury or prescribing an antibiotic.
Sick visits can treat a wide range of illness and injuries, including:
You should book a sick visit if your symptoms aren’t going away with home remedies, such as rest and plenty of fluids. If you’ve injured your foot or ankle, keep it elevated and avoid putting pressure on it. If you hurt your arms or back, rest and try not to lift any objects until receiving professional treatment.
If you have life-threatening symptoms and believe your health is in danger, call 911 immediately.
Your sick visit begins with targeting the nature of your illness or injury. Your doctor takes your temperature and your vitals. Diagnostic testing, such as a urine test, strep test, or blood test might be performed as well.
Depending on the nature of your condition, treatments might include:
After your visit, you may need to schedule a follow-up appointment to make sure your condition improves.
In many cases, your body can heal on its own when you treat it with the right care at home, meaning getting proper rest, drinking plenty of fluids, and if you’re injured, icing the area.
If your condition doesn’t improve, then medical intervention can help you get well. You also benefit from having the care of your doctors as they monitor the condition of your health.
If you’re not feeling well, have continued symptoms of sickness, or have an injury, call the office today for a sick visit. You can also book your appointment online.
