- Uncontrolled Bleeding: If bleeding is heavy or doesn’t stop after applying pressure, seek immediate medical attention.
- Sudden Weakness or Numbness: Especially if it affects one side of the body, this could indicate a stroke.
- Severe Allergic Reactions: Symptoms like swelling of the face, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing, and hives require urgent care.

When Should I Go to Urgent Care Instead?
While the emergency room is equipped to handle all types of medical emergencies, urgent care centers are a good option for situations that are not life-threatening but require immediate attention. Examples include:
- Sprains and Strains: If you’ve twisted an ankle or injured a muscle, an urgent care center can provide the necessary care.
- Minor Cuts and Burns: Urgent care centers can clean and bandage minor wounds.
- Ear Infections and Sinus Infections: These common ailments can be diagnosed and treated at an urgent care center.
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Urgent care centers can provide relief from the painful symptoms of a UTI.
