When you are sick, choosing where to turn for help can be confusing. You should know that ClearChoiceMD can provide comprehensive care for a wide range of infections. Our experienced providers are equipped with onsite diagnostic resources to help us get to the root of the problem and provide the rapid treatment you need.

Common Cold

Even a mild viral illness like the common cold can be miserable and interrupt your life. Sometimes, cold symptoms like a cough or congestion can linger or worsen. You may have a condition like asthma or COPD that is aggravated by upper respiratory infections like a cold. At ClearChoiceMD, we provide fast, effective treatment to relieve your symptoms and help you on the road to recovery. Depending on your condition, your provider may order medications to relieve inflammation, cough, congestion, and other symptoms.

Influenza (Flu)

Most of us have experienced the misery of the "flu," or influenza. Usually more prevalent in the colder months, the flu is a viral illness that can cause a spectrum of symptoms, including a headache, a fever, body aches, a cough, a runny nose, and fatigue. Vomiting and diarrhea may also accompany the flu, but these are more common in children, who must be monitored carefully for dehydration.

From medications to help relieve your symptoms to a preventative flu shot, our compassionate clinicians are equipped to provide the care you need.

Pink Eye

Pink eye (conjunctivitis) is an infection of the membrane inside your eyelids and on the surface of your eyeball. Caused by a virus, bacteria, or allergies, pink eye can be quite uncomfortable. Depending on the cause, symptoms may include redness, watering, itching, irritation, or discharge. Providers at ClearChoiceMD can help diagnose the cause of your conjunctivitis and prescribe the treatment you need, including antibiotic ointment, eye drops, or antihistamines.

COVID-19

COVID-19 is a contagious viral infection that can lead to various symptoms, including a fever, congestion, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, diarrhea, and loss of taste and smell. A COVID-19 infection can be mild for some people but more severe for others, including older adults and people with certain chronic conditions.

If you think you may have COVID-19, visit urgent care as soon as possible. Certain antiviral medications are most effective when given within five days of the beginning of symptoms.

Chickenpox

An itchy, blistered skin rash is the hallmark of chickenpox, also known as varicella. This viral illness is bothersome, uncomfortable, and very contagious for those who are unvaccinated or haven't had chickenpox before. Other symptoms may include fatigue, a low-grade fever, a headache, and a stomachache.

Though it is often considered a childhood illness, adults can contract chicken pox, which may be more severe than in children. Our experienced providers at ClearChoiceMD can diagnose varicella and order treatment to relieve your symptoms.

Viral Infections

There are many other viral infections that can cause illness, from stomach flu to STDs. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment can provide symptom relief and, in some cases, prevent dangerous complications.

Our clinicians at ClearChoiceMD are highly trained and experienced in treating a wide range of health problems in people of all ages, including viral infections. Don't hesitate to visit us and get the care you need.

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

A urinary tract infection, or UTI, is an infection of one or more parts of your urinary tract, including the urethra, bladder, and kidneys. Symptoms may include burning with urination, an urge to urinate, frequent urination, malodorous urine, and pelvic pain. Symptoms may be less pronounced in older adults, and confusion may be present.

With an onsite lab and experienced providers, ClearChoiceMD can provide fast, effective diagnosis and treatment for UTIs. You may be prescribed an antibiotic to treat your infection, as well as other medications for symptom relief.
