When someone in your home suddenly develops a fever, cough, stomach pain, or an injury,
knowing whether to choose urgent care or the ER can feel confusing. This quick guide makes it easier.
Why Urgent Care Is the Best First Stop for Most Illnesses
Emergency rooms are essential for life-threatening emergencies, but they can be crowded, stressful,
and expensive. Primary care offices are great for routine care, but they aren’t always open evenings
or weekends. Urgent care fills the gap.
At Magnolia Family Urgent Care, most everyday problems can be safely treated the same day, including:
Fever, sore throat, ear pain, cough and congestion
Sinus infections, bronchitis, mild pneumonia
Urinary tract infections and minor abdominal illness
Sprains, strains, simple fractures, cuts, and minor burns
Allergies, mild asthma flares, rashes, and bug bites
