Your primary care specialist can treat strep throat, cold and flu symptoms, COVID-19 symptoms, sinus, bladder, or ear infections, fractures, sprains, strains, and much more.
What happens during sick visits?
During sick visits with Wagon Healthcare, your primary care specialist discusses your symptoms and medical history. They can evaluate your health during a virtual or in-person physical examination.
Your provider might recommend you undergo a urine test, blood test, nasal or throat swab, allergy or asthma test, X-rays, or other imaging procedures as needed to diagnose your condition. They personalize each treatment to give you the most effective outcome.
What are my sick visit treatment options?
Depending on the type of illness, injury, or disease you experience, your Wagon Healthcare specialist may suggest the following treatments:
At-home care
Getting plenty of rest, drinking more fluids, and taking vitamin and mineral supplements is sometimes all that’s needed to recover from an illness.
Injury treatment
Your Wagon Healthcare provider can treat wounds, fractures, sprains, strains, and other injuries. They let you know what you can do at home to properly care for your injury.
IV therapy
IV therapy can rehydrate you, boost vitamin and mineral levels, reverse nutrient deficiencies, increase your energy, reduce disease symptoms, and improve your overall health and wellness. Your specialist infuses fluids, vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients directly into your bloodstream.
Medications
Taking over-the-counter or prescription medicines can alleviate unpleasant symptoms and help you recover quickly from an illness, injury, or disease.
Allergy and asthma treatments
If you have severe allergies or asthma, your primary care specialist may suggest oral medicines, nasal sprays, allergy shots, or an inhaler.
If you don’t feel good, don’t wait to seek treatment. Call Wagon Healthcare for an appointment or book online at the first sign of an illness, injury, or disease.
