Infections

What Are Infections

Infections occur when harmful microorganisms — such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites — enter the body and begin to multiply. They can affect nearly any part of the body, including the skin, lungs, urinary tract, throat, or digestive system.

 

Symptoms vary depending on the cause and location but may include fever, pain, fatigue, swelling, redness, or drainage. Some infections are mild and resolve on their own, while others require medical treatment such as antibiotics, antivirals, or other targeted therapies.

 

At Getuwell Urgent & Primary Care, our providers evaluate symptoms, perform in-office testing when needed, and create treatment plans to help you recover quickly and prevent complications. Prompt care ensures that infections are properly identified and treated before they worsen or spread to others.

What is Urgent Care?

Urgent care bridges the gap between primary care and the emergency room. It’s designed for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that require immediate attention — faster than waiting for a regular appointment, and without the high costs of the ER.

 

At our clinic, urgent care means same-day access to medical providers, on-site testing, and fast treatment so you can get relief and return to your daily life.

Our urgent care services cover a wide range of common medical needs, including:

  • Cold, flu, and COVID-19 testing and treatment
  • Sore throats, strep, and sinus infections
  • Cough, bronchitis, and RSV evaluation
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
  • Ear infections and eye conditions (including pink eye)
  • Minor cuts, burns, and skin infections
  • Muscle strains, sprains, and minor injuries
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Nausea, vomiting, and stomach issues
  • Same-day lab testing and medication refills for urgent needs

Walk in anytime — no appointment is required.

Urgent care is best when you need quick medical attention for issues that are uncomfortable, painful, or concerning — but not life-threatening.

Examples include:

  • Fever, cough, or flu symptoms
  • Ear pain or sore throat
  • Minor allergic reactions
  • Small cuts or burns
  • Sprains or strains
  • Painful urination or suspected UTI
  • Rashes, skin infections, or insect bites

Some symptoms require emergency care. Call 911 or go directly to the ER if you experience:

  • Chest pain or pressure
  • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Head injuries or loss of consciousness
  • Sudden weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking
  • Severe allergic reaction (trouble breathing, swelling of face/throat)
  • Heavy bleeding that won’t stop
  • Suspected stroke or heart attack
  • Convenience: Walk in anytime, no appointment needed
  • Speed: Short wait times compared to the ER
  • Affordability: Lower costs than hospital emergency care
  • Comprehensive care: On-site testing and treatment for a wide range of urgent conditions
  • Personalized attention: Our providers take time to understand your needs and guide your recovery
