The team at Christos Doctors Inn Walk In Health Care in Lauderhill and Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, is standing by to offer prompt, professional, and compassionate urgent care services when the need arises.

A fever is your body’s way of trying to fight off an infection. When your immune system detects a potential threat, it triggers a series of events that raises your body temperature. This can happen over a period of time or very quickly.
Some people don’t realize they’re developing a fever until they begin to feel miserable. Body aches, chills, and an overall sense of malaise are all characteristics of a fever. Your skin may feel hot to the touch, and you can track your body temperature as it rises if you have a thermometer handy.
You can often reduce symptoms of a fever using over-the-counter medications. But this does nothing to address the core cause of your increased body temperature. A visit to Christos Doctors Inn Walk In Health Care can help get to the bottom of what’s causing your symptoms and also bring prompt fever relief.
In some cases, a broken bone is easy to identify. When a bone breaks the surface of your skin or a joint becomes visibly distorted or malformed, it’s clear that a break has occurred.
But there are many times when it isn’t clear that a bone has fractured. Far too many people postpone seeking care for a broken bone because they aren’t entirely sure of the extent of the damage.
Here are some signs that you might have a broken bone:
Don’t wait to get help. Treating a broken bone is often easier in the timeframe immediately following a break, when swelling and other changes are at a minimum.
Even if you’re unaware of any allergies, it’s important to pay close attention to the signs of an allergic reaction. You can experience an allergic reaction at any point in life, even if previous exposure to a potential allergen didn’t cause symptoms.
If you experience shortness of breath or loss of consciousness, seek emergency medical care right away. For less extreme symptoms, urgent care is a good option for prompt relief.
Here’s what to look for:
Allergic reactions can make you miserable, and symptoms can worsen if you wait to seek treatment.
Everyone experiences an occasional upset stomach or other digestive concerns. But when you encounter severe or lasting symptoms, get to Christos Doctors Inn Walk In Health Care.
Don’t hesitate to reach out for help if you experience:
Stomach pain can be caused by a number of different things, some of which are relatively simple, like food poisoning, and others that may require more in-depth diagnostic or treatment services. Your practitioner can quickly assess your condition and guide you to the help you need.
If you or a loved one isn’t feeling well, there’s no need to postpone medical care. Urgent care services exist to address unexpected illness and injury. Waiting until you’re absolutely miserable only places your body under additional strain. In some cases, waiting can also complicate your treatment path.
There’s no need to schedule an appointment for urgent care services. The team at Christos Doctors Inn Walk In Health Care is here to provide fast, professional, and compassionate care aimed at helping you feel better quickly.
