What are sick visits?
A sick visit is an appointment you schedule with the Temecula Medical Group to address a new illness or symptoms that are getting worse. When you’re feeling ill, you need a doctor you can trust to care for your needs right away. The Temecula Medical Group welcomes sick visits and offers urgent care services to promptly address your concerns.
How do I know if I need a sick visit?
While minor symptoms like a runny nose or cough usually get better within a few days, some can get worse. Common reasons to schedule a sick visit with the Temecula Medical Group include:
- Sinus congestion
- Dry, persistent cough
- Sore throat
- White spots in the back of the throat
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Chills
- Headaches
- Low appetite
If you experience any of these symptoms for longer than 2-3 days, the team recommends scheduling a sick visit.
What happens during a sick visit?
After recording your height, weight, and vitals, the team reviews your medical history and asks questions about your symptoms. With an in-house lab, the team does diagnostic testing onsite. If you need blood work, COVID testing, urinalysis, or an X-ray, the Temecula Medical Group’s in-house diagnostic services save patients time and money.
Depending on the result of your tests, the team could recommend rest and fluids, medication, or refer you to a specialist for additional investigation.
What illnesses can sick visits treat?
The team can diagnose a wide range of acute illnesses during your sick visit, including:
- Strep throat
- Common cold
- Influenza (flu)
- Bronchitis
- Sinus infection
- Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
- Ear infection
- Urinary tract infection (UTI)
Many chronic conditions can also cause uncomfortable symptoms that require a sick visit. Fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and a runny nose are symptoms of chronic diseases like diabetes and allergies that call for a sick visit.
If needed, the team can order in-house services like blood work and X-rays to further investigate your symptoms and diagnose your condition.
In-house services enable you to get prompt care and a quick diagnosis. Call the Temecula Medical Group today or schedule an appointment online to learn more.
