When should I go to the walk-in clinic?
Some medical issues are urgent and warrant immediate care but aren’t really an emergency medical situation. A walk-in clinic may be right for you if you, your child, or any member of your family has a minor injury or any of the following ailments:
- Hives
- Fever
- Rashes
- Ear pain
- Minor cuts
- Pelvic pain
- Sore throat
- Dehydration
- Sprains or strains
- Cold or flu symptoms
- Burning during urination
- Cough or chest congestion
- Respiratory issues, like wheezing
Of course, if you’re experiencing chest pain, acute abdominal pain, or broken bones, among other issues, it’s still important to head to the emergency room.
