Feeling run down with a sudden illness and don’t want to wait days for help? If so, come to Anna Health Family Medicine.
We understand how quickly a cold can turn into something more serious or how uncomfortable flu symptoms can be.
This is why our team offers same-day diagnosis and treatment for acute illnesses.
What Is an Acute Illness?
An acute illness is a health condition that usually comes on suddenly and lasts a short time. Symptoms can range from mild to severe.
While these conditions often resolve on their own, sometimes medical care is required.
Common acute illnesses include:
- Common cold
- Influenza (flu)
- Sinus infection
- Bronchitis
- Pneumonia
- Strep throat
- Ear infection
- Stomach flu
- Food poisoning
If you have a sore throat, a cough that is keeping you up at night, or are vomiting with no end in sight, don’t second-guess being seen by a doctor.
We will evaluate your symptoms, assess your condition, and recommend a tailored treatment plan.
Common Symptoms of an Acute Illness
There are many different conditions that happen in a short period. Because there are so many different types, symptoms will vary based on the illness.
Some common symptoms to be on the lookout for include:
- Fatigue
- Sore throat
- Cough/congestion
- Headache
- Muscle aches
- Fever
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
If you experience these symptoms for more than a few days or if they aren’t getting better with over-the-counter medications, it’s important to see a doctor so that you can get the treatment you need.
