When to Go to Urgent Care for Cough

If you’ve been dealing with an upper respiratory illness, you may wonder when to see urgent care for a cough.

Here are some reasons to consider a visit to a medical professional at urgent care when you’re dealing with a cough:

If the cough lasts for more than three weeks.
If the cough is accompanied by chest pain, difficulty breathing, high fever, or coughing up blood.
If you have health issues like asthma or a weak immune system, the cough worsens over time.
If you've been in areas with contagious illnesses or close to someone with a bad cough diagnosed with the flu, whooping cough, or COVID-19.

If your child has a persistent cough, it’s vital to visit urgent care for prompt evaluation and treatment, especially if they are also experiencing breathing difficulties or a high fever.

When to Go to Urgent Care for a Cold

When faced with the discomfort of a cold, understanding when to seek urgent care from trusted providers is essential.

Here’s when to see a healthcare provider for a cold:

The cold symptoms persist for an extended period, especially if they last more than a few weeks.
Severe symptoms accompany the cold, such as breathing difficulties, high fever, or chest pain.
You have pre-existing health conditions like asthma or a compromised immune system, which the cold could worsen.
Concerns about dehydration arise due to the inability to keep fluids down.

What Can Urgent Care Do for Cough?

Urgent care can provide relief and diagnosis for a persistent or worsening cough. A healthcare provider at CareWell Urgent Care can:

Identify the underlying cause: Through examination and potential tests, our team can determine if your cough is due to a common cold, allergies, asthma, or a more serious condition.
Provide medication: If necessary, we can provide appropriate medication to alleviate symptoms or treat the underlying cause.
Offer treatment recommendations: Based on your symptoms, we can provide guidance on over-the-counter remedies, lifestyle changes, or other treatments to help manage your cough.

If you're concerned about your cough, consulting a healthcare professional is always a good idea.
