WALK IN MEDICAL SERVICES
Urinary Tract Infections
UTIs are infections found in the lower urinary tract, typically involving the bladder and urethra. While there are often no noticeable symptoms involved with a urinary tract infection, when symptoms do present they can include a burning sensation while urinating, a strong urge to urinate, cloudy urine, urine accompanied by a strong odor, discomfort, and more. At QUC, we test for UTIs with a simple urine sample analysis. Treatment typically includes antibiotics, and occasionally analgesics will be prescribed to relieve discomfort.
School Physicals
To make sure that a child has the necessary physical and health requirements for school and sports, we provide regular physicals. These physicals are required by most schools for participation in sports, as well as some other physical activities. Quality Urgent Care school physicals include a review of the patient’s medical history, a physical examination, the completion of necessary forms, and any other requirements from the patient’s school. Be sure to bring any required forms and permissions with you in order to ensure a prompt and seamless physical for your child.
Ear Aches
Earaches often accompany cold, flu, or allergy, and are typically the result of a bacterium or virus in the middle ear. It’s important to receive a checkup on any ear problems, as they can lead to infections and other more serious issues. Symptoms to watch out for are ear discomfort, irritability, loss of balance, difficulty hearing, headache, and fluid drainage from the ear. Quality Urgent Care treatment for ear problems may include the application of warm compresses to the ear in conjunction with over-the-counter decongestants, ear drops, and pain relievers.
Sports Injuries
Common sports-related injuries include dislocations, sprains, strains, and fractures. Quality Urgent Care evaluates injuries from sports, determining the type of injury and any necessary treatment that may be required. If necessary, X-rays are given as a means of diagnosis, and in order to determine the severity of the injury. Treatment for sports injuries may include one or all of the following: rest, elevation, ice, compression, cast, or brace. It is imperative that patients do not return to their sport until they are properly evaluated and deemed healed and ready by a qualified QUC physician.
Minor Eye Problems
Quality Urgent Care provides the evaluation and treatment of minor eye problems. Some conditions will be treatable by our qualified staff, while others may require a partnership and referral to a specialist. QUC will help you every step of the way on your way to treatment and healing for your minor eye problem.
Sprains and Simple Fractures
A sprain is typically the result of stretching or tearing the tissue connecting the bones and supporting the joints, which is known as the ligament. When a joint is overstretched, a person falls, or they experience some sort of heavy hit or jolt, a sprain can occur. Symptoms include swelling, bruising, soreness, difficulty moving, and muscle spasms, most often in the wrists, ankles, or knees.
More serious than a sprain, a simple fracture usually is caused by a sports injury, trauma, or accident, causing strong discomfort, difficulty moving, a noticeable deformity in the injured area, numbness, and more. Quality Urgent Care provides X-rays to determine if an injury is a simple fracture or a sprain. Treatment for sprains and simple fractures may include icing, compression, elevation, and casts or braces for fractures.
Wound Care
Wounds such as simple cuts, lacerations, punctures, and animal bites, can be evaluated and treated at Quality Urgent Care. Causes of these types of wounds are often stabbing, broken glass, falls, razor cuts, stepping onto sharp objects, and bites. Seek care at QUC for your wound if: it’s large, it’s deep, it is on the face, it’s causing limited function, it’s from a human or animal bite, it’s caused by a rusty object, it has debris left inside, it is showing signs of infection, or if you haven’t had a tetanus shot within the past 5-10 years. Treatment for wounds may include stitches, adhesive tape, a special dressing, and possibly a tetanus shot.
Asthma
Asthma is a chronic disease that causes inflammation in the lungs, as well as the narrowing of the airways. When the lungs inflame and the airways narrow, airflow to the lungs lessens, causing difficulty breathing. Other symptoms of asthma include shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, and tightness in the chest. Testing for asthma at Quality Urgent Care may include evaluating symptoms, checking lung function, chest X-rays, and more.
Simple Burns
Simple burns can be evaluated and treated at Quality Urgent Care. Please be aware, if the pain or damage of a burn is intense, a visit to the Emergency Room may be in order. Our qualified physicians will evaluate the severity of your burn and determine whether you need a referral to a specialist or other appropriate treatment.
Stomach aches
When you have stomach aches and pains arise, visit our Walk-In Clinic for an evaluation and treatment. While most stomach aches pass quickly and don’t require treatment, there are times when you will want to visit one of our walk-in clinics in San Antonio. Check-in online if your pain lasts for longer than a week, becomes more severe after 2 days and is accompanied by nausea and vomiting, coincides with a burning sensation when you urinate or is accompanied by a fever. When you visit our clinic, we will evaluate your symptoms as well as your medical history in order to determine the perfect treatment plan to get you healthy as quickly as possible.
Cuts and Stitches
Cuts will heal on their own, but large or deep cuts tend to take a little while, which leaves you at risk of infection. To prevent infection or other complications, more serious cuts might require stitches. Stitches also ensure that the cut heals properly by bringing the cut skin together. Quality Urgent Care will provide the care that you need for your cuts or lacerations.
If your cut is very deep, gaping, or you can see bone, muscles, or tendon, head to your local emergency room.
For fast evaluation and treatment of your cut, head to our Walk-In Clinic. Your cut will be cleaned and stitched up in no time, and you’ll be on your way to healing.
Allergies
Allergies are often the cause of respiratory problems, minor eye problems, and other conditions. Symptoms of allergies can include itchy, watery eyes, headaches, congestion, and difficulty breathing, Quality Urgent Care can help you evaluate and determine your allergies, as well as provide treatment to alleviate symptoms.
Cold/Flu
Colds and influenza are respiratory illnesses that are caused by different viruses. Both conditions include symptoms such as a stuffy nose, cough, headaches, body aches, sore throat, sneezing, and fatigue, while the flu also includes more severe symptoms such as fever, chills, strong head and body aches, and intense fatigue. At Quality Urgent Care, we evaluate your symptoms and determine the correct diagnosis. A rapid flu test may be administered for quick and accurate differentiation.
The cold and the flu typically run their course and clear up on their own. QUC physicians will recommend remedies to help make you more comfortable during the duration of your illness. Anti-Viral medication may be prescribed for the flu, in order to help shorten the duration and severity of symptoms.
Bites
While the majority of insect bites don’t need medical attention, occasionally sufferers will experience a severe reaction. When those reactions occur, our Walk-In Clinics are here for you. With no appointment necessary, you can walk-in as soon as you experience any of these symptoms that stem from your insect bite:
Difficulty breathing
Swelling on the face
Nausea
Stomach pains
Poor circulation and blood pressure (which is a sign of shock).
Insects whose bites and stings can cause severe reactions include wasps, hornets, bees, fire ants, yellow jackets, mosquitoes, ants, ticks, scorpions, and some spiders. If you experience a severe reaction and need to be evaluated for treatment, visit San Antonio Urgent Care at your convenience.
Sinus Infections
Sinus infections occur when the lining of the sinuses become inflamed and swell. This inflammation causes sinuses to become blocked and filled with fluid, which creates an environment for bacteria and viruses to grow. Symptoms include congestion, nasal discharge and stuffiness, cough, and facial pressure and discomfort. There are a number of treatment methods for the four types of sinus infections, including decongestants, vaporizers, and antibiotics. Quality Urgent Care physicians will determine the type of sinus infection and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
