Where Should I Get Treatment For Acute Disease?
If you have an acute disease, such as the common cold, contact Brookridge Internal Medicine Associates if your symptoms don’t resolve within a few days.
Your primary care practitioner may be able to provide antibiotics or other over-the-counter remedies to improve your symptoms. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions exactly as prescribed. You can also speed up your recovery by drinking plenty of fluids to stay hydrated and resting your body.
Are Acute Diseases Dangerous?
Some acute diseases are mild and resolve without medication while others may require emergency services. If your symptoms are especially uncomfortable and worsen to include episodes, such as headaches, vomiting, or diarrhea, contact your primary care practitioner at Brookridge Internal Medicine Associates and keep them updated on your symptoms.
If you experience severe pain, loss of motor functions, difficulty breathing, or become extremely dehydrated, you should call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. It’s always better to stay on the safe side and seek treatment early for your symptoms, especially if you have an underlying chronic disease.
