What could be behind your symptoms?

Getting a correct diagnosis is the first step in a quick recovery. Our providers are highly skilled in knowing the difference between a cold, an allergy, or sinusitis. Below are the main differences between these three illnesses and the clues to look for if you are feeling a little under the weather.

Colds

If you come down with a sore throat and have aches throughout your body, then you might just have a cold. It is not uncommon to have a fever accompanying these symptoms also. Most of the time, a cold will work its way through your body in a few days, and you will start to feel better on your own. This recovery can be sped up, and symptoms lessened with common over-the-counter cold medicines. However, if a cold takes a tighter hold on you, prescription medication may be needed. Therefore, a diagnosis from a provider is important. They will prescribe the right medicine to treat the right illness. A great way to lessen the symptoms of a cold is not to catch it in the first place. A flu shot will protect you from this season’s most likely flu strains, and most shots are covered by your insurance carrier.

Allergies

While a cold brings fevers or aches, allergies usually arrive with runny, stuffy noses and watery, itchy eyes. These appear after you are exposed to an allergen. People most commonly experience seasonal allergies or can be allergic to certain types of pets. There are some over-the-counter medications that can suppress these symptoms for a time, but it is often better just to avoid these allergens altogether if possible.

Sinusitis

If your face feels swollen around the cheeks and forehead, you may have a painful illness called sinusitis. Other clues to being sick with this are a stuffy nose and occasionally colored mucus. This uncomfortable condition can last up to 4 weeks. Our provider will be able to diagnose this, so you get the proper medication for your treatment.

Another symptom that can pop up when you have a cold is the buildup of earwax. This, over time, can lead to a very painful and uncomfortable problem. You should never try to clean out hardened ear wax yourself. Come to our walk-in urgent care center and have one of our experienced providers flush out your earwax. They will do it safely so as not to cause any further problems.

At AFC Urgent Care Narberth, you can rest assured we will diagnose, treat, and send you on your way as quickly as possible. You will find that not only is the wait time less than in a traditional emergency room, but in most cases, the costs are also less. We will put you on the road to recovery so you can return to your activities without feeling awful.
