Illnesses Treated at AFC Bedford
Bronchitis
Bronchitis is one of the most common conditions treated at AFC Bedford. Acute bronchitis can last a few weeks, so it’s important to get your symptoms checked out to speed up the recovery.
Ear Infections
Ear infections are more likely to occur in the summer due to swimming in lakes, oceans, or pools. Babies and young children can also get recurring ear infections.
Food Poisoning
Food poisoning is caused by eating contaminated food, food that has been left out for too long, or meat that hasn’t been cooked properly. While our providers can’t treat the actual symptoms of food poisoning, we can make recommendations for medications to take or monitor the patient for dehydration.
Dehydration is the main concern when it comes to food poisoning. Be sure to replenish your water consistently as your symptoms last.
Rashes
Rashes can happen for many different reasons. Their most common cause is likely to be allergic reactions. This can happen from using a topical beauty product, touching a plant outdoors, such as poison ivy, infections, or heat.
As long as the rash is not combined with other symptoms such as difficulty breathing, it can be treated at AFC Bedford.
Viral Infections
Most viral infections can be diagnosed and treated at AFC Bedford. Our providers can look at all of the present symptoms to determine what the cause of the illness is. This can include a cold or the flu, pneumonia, mono, sore throats, and more.
As long as the patient isn’t experiencing any life-threatening symptoms such as difficulty breathing or loss of consciousness, our providers can treat the patient. If you are experiencing any major symptoms, visit your local emergency room.
Pediatric Conditions
AFC Bedford can treat patients from age 1 to 99. Children get sick often due to close contact in schools or daycares, and it can be difficult to get them in with their pediatrician. All of the mentioned conditions in children can be treated, as well as general symptoms such as cough, congestion, or sore throat.
