Diagnosis & Treatment of Acute Illness
An acute illness typically starts suddenly and is short lived. Two common examples are colds and the flu. Some acute illnesses, those caused by viruses, will go away by themselves or with good home care; while others can be cured by antibiotics or other medical treatment. Tri-City Health Center medical providers are well equipped to diagnose and address acute illness as it arises, and prescribe appropriate treatment, or make the correct referral to an outside medical specialist.
