What Constitutes an Urgent Medical Need?
Knowing when to seek urgent care can be confusing. It’s important to remember that urgent care is not a substitute for emergency medical services. However, it bridges the gap between routine doctor’s appointments and emergency room visits. Here are some examples of situations where seeking urgent care at Gleneagles Hospital is appropriate:
- High fever: A fever exceeding 102°F (38.9°C), especially when accompanied by other symptoms like a stiff neck, severe headache, or difficulty breathing.
- Severe pain: Any pain that significantly impacts your daily life and doesn’t subside with over-the-counter pain relievers.
- Difficulty breathing: Shortness of breath, wheezing, or difficulty catching your breath can indicate a potentially serious respiratory issue.
- Unexplained bleeding or wounds: Deep cuts, wounds that won’t stop bleeding, or bleeding from unusual areas.
- Suspected fractures or sprains: Severe pain, swelling, and immobility following an injury.
- Eye injuries: Sudden vision changes, eye pain, or foreign objects in the eye.
- Allergic reactions: Hives, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing after exposure to an allergen.
