When to go to an urgent care or walk-in medical clinic near you

Feeling ill? Your nearest medical clinic can a provide you treatments for the following ailments and symptoms within 24 hours:

• Fever without rash
• Non-life threatening allergic reactions
• Ear pain
• Painful urination
• Diarrhea
• Sore throat
• Vomiting
• Minor trauma like sprains and cuts that needs stitching
• Other non-life-threatening illnesses but needs medical treatment within 24 hours

Medical clinics are also fully equipped to offer routine health checks, preventive care, and minor invasive procedures. Some are also 24 hour medical clinics so after-hours appointment and cases are readily accommodated.

Please note however that medical clinics near you are no substitute for emergency rooms. Medical clinics can’t handle complicated procedures that most life-threatening situations need.
