When to Visit Urgent Care Instead of the Emergency Room

Emergency rooms typically provide care for serious, life-threatening situations such as chest pain, strokes, or major trauma. However, many everyday or non-life-threatening medical issues can be treated more efficiently at urgent care. At AFC Urgent Care Cambridge Porter Square, our walk-in clinic treats a wide range of medical conditions on a walk-in basis, and we provide same-day care for patients of all ages.

Visit our walk-in clinic for conditions such as:

• Cold, flu, or COVID-like symptoms
• Fever, sore throat, or swollen glands
• Cough, congestion, and sinus problems
• Minor scrapes
• Cuts requiring stitches
• Sprains, strains, and broken bones
• Earaches or ear infections
• Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea
• Mild burns, rashes, or skin irritation
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Seasonal allergy symptoms
• Pink eye or eye infections

If your condition isn’t an emergency, our walk-in clinic can often get you treated and back to your day much faster than waiting at the ER for treatment. If your condition is severe or life-threatening, you should always visit the ER for emergency treatment. To learn more about the conditions we treat, give us a call at (617) 613-7800.
