What Are Acute Illnesses?
At Younger Medical Health and Wellness in Queen Creek and Scottsdale, AZ, our team provides care for a variety of acute illnesses that can affect patients of all ages. Acute illnesses, including urinary tract infections (UTIs) and upper respiratory infections (URIs), often appear suddenly. They may be caused by infections, injuries, or seasonal illnesses with symptoms that range in severity. While some acute illnesses may resolve independently, others require medical attention to manage symptoms and reduce discomfort. Our experienced team is here to offer prompt care and effective treatments to help patients recover swiftly and safely.
What Treatment Options Are Available for Acute Illnesses?
Our team at Younger Medical Health and Wellness offers a range of treatments tailored to each individual's needs. For URIs, we may recommend medications to reduce congestion and relieve cough while asthma and COPD exacerbations might require inhalers or bronchodilators to support easier breathing. For UTIs, we provide both immediate relief with antibiotics and guidance on UTI prevention to reduce recurrence. Additionally, gastrointestinal conditions and skin issues are managed with specific therapies, including anti-inflammatory medications and dietary guidance to help ease symptoms.
What Are the Symptoms of Acute Illnesses?
Symptoms can vary, depending on the type of illness or injury but may include a combination of the following:
- Persistent sore throat, nasal congestion, and cough, often associated with upper respiratory infections (URIs)
- Fever, chills, or fatigue, common in infections like the flu or pneumonia
- Burning sensation and discomfort during urination, along with increased urgency, often indicating urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Shortness of breath, wheezing, or chest tightness in cases of asthma attacks or COPD exacerbations
- Skin rashes or irritation, which may accompany allergic reactions or infections
- Stomach discomfort, nausea, and vomiting, frequently associated with gastroenteritis
If you experience any of these symptoms, seeking medical attention can provide a proper diagnosis and appropriate care to ease discomfort and prevent complications.
Younger Medical Health and Wellness Reviews
I have been going here for almost 2 years and have lost over 110 lbs. Ariel and Valarie closely monitor my health each month which helps me ensure that I’m losing weight the right way while gaining muscle mass. So glad I found this local, professional office!
Actually listened. Got an answer I've been looking for, for years, in two visits. Direct, to the point, knowledgeable.
In and out at a reasonable time, Dr Young was very friendly and personable. Got all of my concerns taken care of and gave me some great recommendations of places to ride motorcycles with my wife and I. Overall a great experience!
Really great listener and explains everything really thoroughly!
Dr. Weston Young is absolutely our favorite family PCP ever. He is professional, kind, attentive, respectful, knowledgeable, current, relevant and very personable! He respects each individual patient and their preferences. He gives options but leaves decisions up to the individual patient. All of our friends who also go to him agree. He’s a gem whom we highly recommend!
