Seasonal Care

For those times when your seasonal allergies are getting the best of you, you’re experiencing a painful sunburn, or you’ve gone on a nature walk or hike and ran into poison ivy or a tick, AFC Urgent Care West Long Branch has you covered.

Our walk-in urgent care center provides treatment for your seasonal ailments. A short visit with us will provide you with the effective treatment plan you need to get your symptoms under control!

Tick Bites & Lyme Disease

Spending time outdoors increases your risk of tick bites, especially in wooded or grassy areas. While many tick bites are harmless, some can transmit Lyme disease if not treated promptly. Early symptoms may include redness or a bullseye rash, fatigue, fever, or muscle aches. At AFC Urgent Care West Long Branch, our providers can evaluate tick bites, safely remove ticks if needed, and determine whether preventive treatment or testing is appropriate. Getting checked early can help prevent more serious complications down the line.

Poison Ivy

Contact with poison ivy can quickly lead to an uncomfortable, itchy rash that may blister or spread if left untreated. Whether you’ve brushed up against it during yard work or while exploring the outdoors, prompt care can help relieve symptoms and prevent infection. At AFC Urgent Care West Long Branch, we provide effective treatments to reduce inflammation, soothe irritation, and support faster healing so you can get back to your routine without the discomfort.

Sunburns & Heat Exhaustion

Too much time in the sun can lead to more than just redness and discomfort. Severe sunburns and heat exhaustion can cause dehydration, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue, requiring medical attention. If your symptoms go beyond mild irritation, it is important to seek care. At AFC Urgent Care West Long Branch, our team can assess your condition, provide treatment to relieve symptoms, and help you recover safely so you can continue enjoying the warmer months without interruption.

Summer Camp Physical Exams

Before your child steps foot on that soccer field or that basketball court, they need to undergo a Routine physical exam. Why? Many youth sports programs require that student athletes have a sports physical performed to assess their current fitness level, risk of injury, and overall well-being.

Before sport seasons begin, pediatricians have an overflow of patients scheduling their annual check-up. You can avoid scheduling a check-up at AFC Urgent Care West Long Branch with our walk-in physicals administered by our experienced physicians.
