Depending on the illness or injury will depend on the treatment. Certain bone fractures or sprains may require a hard or soft cast, depending on how severe the damage is. Splints can also be provided for injuries on fingers or toes. Medications can be recommended or prescribed to help with pain, as well.
In some cases, flu shots can be administered for illnesses that present flu-like symptoms. Viruses cannot be treated with antibiotics, however, our providers can recommend the best type of medications patients should take to help alleviate their symptoms.
Illnesses that are caused by bacteria can be treated with antibiotics. Certain STDs or strep throat can have antibiotics prescribed to eliminate the symptoms and the infection.
