Expert Diagnosis and Effective Treatment At Family Urgent Care

High fever spikes can seem very scary, especially if you don’t understand the reason or the steps you should take to lower it.

You might ask yourself, ‘Should I wait for it to reduce itself or visit a nearby clinic?’ Right? Well, here’s your answer! 

Fever can occur when the body’s activity is abnormal, mostly due to an infection. If your body temperature is between 99.5 and 100.4 F, you or your loved one has a low-grade fever.  

However, if it increases from 102.4 to 105.8 F, you must seek urgent medical attention and visit a nearby clinic. Family Urgent Care has experienced healthcare providers ready to diagnose and provide effective treatment if your fever is above the normal range.

Other than the increase in body temperature of more than 100.4 F, you might experience the most common symptoms of fever:

  •  Sweating
  •  Shivering
  •  Weakness
  •  Loss appetite
  •  Muscle Aches

What Are Some Causes of Fever?

Some common causes of Fever are:  

 

  • Infection
  • Side effects of medication
  • Virus
  • Bacteria

When You Should Contact A Healthcare Professional?

Fever can also get better without the advice of a medical professional if it’s not too high, but it is better to seek help from a healthcare professional if your fever doesn’t decrease. The doctor will counsel you on monitoring your temperature at home and what medicines you should take. 

You can visit an urgent care clinic if you notice any of the following symptoms:

  • If the body temperature increases to 100.4 F and is not decreasing.
  • If the temperature is more than 102.2 F for five days
  • If you experience any symptoms like chills, body aches, sweating, weakness or lack of energy.

Family Urgent care is a great place. I walked in without an appointment. I was seen within 15 minutes. The staff was very pleasant. The doctor listened to my problems, ran some tests and explained how to navigate the complicated healthcare system with medicaid.I had a blood test done. I have very small veins which means that usually I would have to get poked three or four times with the needle. Maya was able to hit the vein on her first try. She had such a delicate touch that I barely felt the needle and was left with no bruise on my arm. Great place, great staff.

They were outstanding. Check in was easy and quick despite being a new patient, and the care was superb. Found them in an emergency situation and they were above and beyond any provider I have found in an immediate care situation. Not too long of a wait despite being a walk in, patient & kind staff, good communication, excellent medical skills, thorough care. I will never go anywhere else for urgent care again.
