When to Seek Medical Attention
Signs that a Viral or Bacterial Infection May Require Medical Attention:
While many viral and bacterial infections can be managed with rest and supportive care, there are some signs that indicate the need for medical attention. These may include high fever, severe pain, difficulty breathing, confusion, or signs of dehydration.
In some cases, viral and bacterial infections can lead to serious complications, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems or underlying health conditions. It is important to seek prompt medical attention if you are experiencing symptoms that suggest a serious infection, as early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes.
Viral and bacterial infections are common illnesses that can cause a range of symptoms, from mild to severe. While some infections may resolve on their own with rest and supportive care, others may require medical intervention. By practicing good hygiene habits, staying up-to-date on vaccinations, and seeking prompt medical attention when necessary, individuals can help protect themselves and their communities from the spread of viral and bacterial infections.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Find out answers to the most commonly asked urgent care questions to help you and your family get the best possible medical care in southern CA.
Allergies happen when your immune system mistakes something for a foreign substance. This can be anything from pollen to bee venom and even pet dander! Your body produces antibodies as well, which are proteins that fight off any infection by targeting specific cells or chemicals in our bodies so they don’t cause further injury due to pain sensation along with anaphylactic shock if left untreated.
Type I- immediate reactions happen within minutes after exposure to an allergen. They are caused by antibodies called IgE.
Type 2- delayed reactions happen hours to days after exposure and are caused by other antibodies, such as IgG.
Type 2- delayed reactions happen hours to days after exposure and are caused by other antibodies, such as IgG.
Some examples of an allergic reaction are contact dermatitis (skin irritation from contact with an allergen), exercise-induced asthma (wheezing and shortness of breath during or after exercise), and food intolerance (a reaction that does not involve the immune system).
Yes, it is possible to be allergic to your pet. Pet allergies are relatively common, and can cause a range of symptoms including sneezing, runny nose, congestion, watery eyes, and itchiness. Some people may also experience more severe reactions such as difficulty breathing or hives.
Anaphylactic shock is a potentially life-threatening reaction to an allergen. Symptoms can include difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat and airway, and low blood pressure. Anaphylactic shock requires immediate medical treatment. Epinephrine is the primary treatment for Anaphylactic shock, and it should be administered as soon as possible after the onset of symptoms. Anaphylactic reactions can occur in response to a variety of allergens, including insect stings, certain foods, and medications. People who are at risk for Anaphylactic reactions may carry an epinephrine auto-injector (such as an EpiPen) with them at all times.
If you have a milder allergic reaction, you can usually treat it at home with over-the-counter medications such as antihistamines. However, if your symptoms are not improving or are getting worse, you should see a healthcare provider. You may also want to see a provider if you have a history of severe allergies or if you are not sure what is causing your symptoms.
