When to Go to Urgent Care vs. the ER

Knowing when to go to urgent care can save time and help you get the right level of care.

Urgent care is a good choice for:

• Mild to moderate rashes or hives
• Localized swelling, itching, or redness
• Symptoms that do not improve with non-prescription medication

Emergency care is needed for:

• Anaphylaxis warning signs, including trouble breathing or throat swelling
• Chest pain, severe dizziness, or confusion
• Rapidly worsening symptoms affecting multiple areas of the body

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please go to an ER or call 9-1-1 for emergency medical assistance.

When Hives Need Urgent Care

If you have hives that are causing discomfort but are not accompanied by any other serious symptoms, visiting an urgent care facility could be the best choice. Hives often respond well to same-day care at urgent care, especially when itching or swelling interferes with daily activities.

Visit us for hives urgent care if your hives:

• Spread quickly or linger for several hours
• Cause significant discomfort or swelling
• Do not improve after using antihistamines

However, if your breathing is affected, if you experience swelling of the face or tongue, or if your hives are worsening even after taking non-prescription treatments (antihistamines), then it's important to seek emergency medical care right away. You might be experiencing anaphylaxis, a potentially fatal response.

If you believe you are experiencing anaphylaxis, please call 9-1-1 immediately.

When a Rash Needs Urgent Care

If you have a rash that is causing discomfort, affecting a large or sensitive area, or are unresponsive to non-prescription treatment, visiting an urgent care facility could be a good option.

See us for rash treatment when a rash :

• Covers a large or sensitive area
• Becomes painful, warm, or begins to drain
• Shows signs of infection
• Does not improve with home treatment

If potentially life-threatening symptoms accompany your rash, please call 9-1-1. Experiencing an inability to breathe caused by swelling of the tongue or airway is a life-threatening situation requiring immediate emergency medical care.
