What is an Urgent Care? Scioto Urgent Care is a convenient alternative when you can’t get a timely appointment with your own physician. The urgent care is open everyday, including evenings and weekends. You do not need to be a regular Scioto Urgent care patient to enjoy our convenience and medical care. No appointment is necessary. Just walk in and receive care when you need it most. Scioto Urgent Care is for non-emergency problems such as sore throats, ear infections, minor burns, or cuts and bruises. More serious injuries or illnesses, such as heart attack and stroke are best treated at an emergency department. Contact your primary care physician for chronic problems like depression or diabetes. Urgent care facilities are also an important resource for individuals who may not have an established primary care physician. An example would be a new resident who has overtaxed him/herself during a move thus and comes down with a cold or flu or who sprains an ankle while moving furniture into a new home. Due to the urgency an urgent care will see a patient the same day, where some physicians may be unable to accept new patients and / or get you in for several days or even weeks. Another benefit to an urgent care is their extended hours. Most are open later in the evening and on weekends. And for those people who realize they a medication refill on the weekend, the urgent care physician can also order refills in most cases.

🤒 How Do Doctors Treat an Upper Respiratory Infection?

Coughing, congestion, sore throat, runny nose — sound familiar? You might be dealing with an upper respiratory infection (URI). Here's what you need to know about treatment.

The good news: Most URIs are caused by viruses and clear up on their own within 7–10 days.

What your doctor will recommend:
✅ Stay hydrated and get plenty of rest
✅ Saline nasal sprays or a humidifier for congestion
✅ Lozenges for sore throat relief
✅ Warm compresses for sinus pressure
✅ Over-the-counter options to manage discomfort
When it's more than a cold:
Sometimes a URI leads to a secondary bacterial infection — like sinusitis, an ear infection, or bronchitis. If your symptoms persist or get worse, we'll evaluate whether further treatment, including antibiotics, is needed.

🔴 Come in right away if you experience:
— High fever that won't break
— Difficulty breathing
— Chest pain
— Symptoms lasting more than 10 days

Don't tough it out — we'll help you feel better, faster.

🩺 What Is Abscess Drainage?

Got a painful, swollen lump that won't go away? It could be an abscess — and it's not going to heal on its own.

An abscess is a pocket of pus caused by infection. Your body tries to fight it off, but the infected material gets trapped under the skin. The only way to properly treat it? Drainage by a healthcare professional.

Here's what happens at Scioto Urgent Care:
✅ Small incision to safely drain the infection
✅ Immediate pain relief and reduced swelling
✅ Wound cleaning to prevent reinfection
✅ Follow-up care instructions for proper healing
✅ Same-day treatment — no appointment needed

⚠️ Don't try to drain an abscess at home. Squeezing or popping it can push the infection deeper and lead to serious complications like spreading infection or tissue damage.

Signs you need to come in:
🔴 Painful, warm, swollen lump
🔴 Redness that's getting worse
🔴 Fever or chills
🔴 Lump is growing in size

Skip the ER — we handle this every day.

🪲 Been Bitten by a Tick? Urgent Care Can Help.

Tick season is here — and it's a big one. According to the CDC, ER visits for tick bites are at their highest levels since 2017. But here's the thing: you don't need the ER for a tick bite. That's exactly what urgent care is for.

At Scioto Urgent Care, here's how we help:
✅ Safe tick removal using specialized tools
✅ Bite area cleaning to prevent infection
✅ Assessment for Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever
✅ Preventive antibiotics if the tick has been attached 24+ hours
✅ Follow-up plan to monitor for rashes, fever, or other symptoms

⏰ Why timing matters: Removing a tick within the first 24 hours significantly reduces the risk of disease transmission. Don't wait — come see us.

🔴 Watch for these signs after a bite:
— Bullseye-shaped rash
— Redness or swelling at the bite
— Fever, chills, or body aches
— Joint pain or fatigue

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month — protect yourself and your family this tick season.
