Acute Illness Q&A
What is acute illness?
An acute illness is any medical condition that develops quickly within a few days and could affect an individual system or the whole body.
Acute illnesses vary in severity. For example, a mild urinary tract infection (UTI) might give you an irritating, inconvenient attack of cystitis that clears in a day or so. A more severe infection involving your kidneys (pyelonephritis) can cause extreme pain and sickness and might require hospital treatment in some cases.
At Mamokant God Favor Healthcare, Marie diagnoses and treats an extensive range of acute illnesses in patients over 18. She uses telehealth facilities for virtual consultations, so you don’t have to visit the office in person when you’re sick or in pain.
What acute illnesses are the most common?
Some of the most common acute illnesses are ones that everyone gets from time to time, such as:
- Colds
- Flu
- Eye infections
- UTIs
- Strep throat
- Stomach flu (gastroenteritis)
- Headaches
Typical symptoms of acute illness include abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, fever, and respiratory problems like coughing, sneezing, and producing thick yellow or green phlegm.
If your symptoms aren’t severe and you have no underlying health problems, resting at home, drinking plenty of clear fluids, and using appropriate over-the-counter medications are usually all you need to get over your acute illness.
When should I get medical help for an acute illness?
If you have severe symptoms, a high fever, or your condition is getting worse instead of better, contact Mamokant God Favor Healthcare for advice. You should also call if you suffer a flare-up of existing health problems.
People’s ability to cope with acute illness also varies. A young, fit person can often work through a cold or recover from flu within a few weeks. On the other hand, someone who has an underlying health condition like diabetes or an autoimmune disorder could find a common cold far more disabling. Acute illness can be more serious for seniors, as well.
Marie is ready to provide prompt, effective care if you face a sudden illness, injury, or infection. She’s skilled in diagnosing and treating a broad range of acute health conditions to help you get back on your feet.
