🌟 WOW! At SouthStar, our patients are absolutely AMAZING! And when they leave incredible reviews? *Chef’s kiss* 🤌

“The doctor, nurse, and all the staff were so welcoming and kind… I could barely stand up when I got there, and I felt 99.9% the next morning. I was so scared I wasn’t going to be able to do my bridal photos the following day because I could barely move, but the photo session just went off without a hitch, thanks to these beautiful and caring women. 100% recommend to anyone! 💟”

To everyone who's shared their experience: THANK YOU! You're helping us improve AND helping future patients know they can trust us with their care here at SouthStar Urgent Care Corporate Offices!

☀️🔥 When intense UV rays and soaring heat indexes hit, sunburns can happen fast — even on cloudy days. Our Texas sun can cause painful burns in as little as 15 minutes without proper protection. Remember to apply SPF 30+ sunscreen, reapply every 2 hours, seek shade during peak hours (10am-4pm) and stay hydrated!

Don't let a sunburn ruin your summer fun. Wear protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses when outdoors. 🕶️

If you do get burned or experience other heat-related illnesses, come see us at SouthStar Urgent Care Corporate Offices. We’re here to help! 🏥

“Nothing but amazing experiences with this clinic. The staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth and treated with respect. Appointments run on time, everything is clean and well-organized. My kids (6&5) ask can we go to this clinic whenever they’re sick & that speaks volumes, ‘cause kids generally do not like going to the doctor.” — Ruston, LA

🏖️⚽ Summer fun shouldn't come with unexpected trips to urgent care! But accidents can happen anywhere, from the backyard to the beach.

🚨 Wherever you go this summer, don't ignore these issues:

· Deep cuts or persistent bleeding.
· Painful sprains or potential fractures.
· Burns from grills or fireworks.
· Ear pain after recent water sports.
· Fevers above 102°F.
· Signs of heat exhaustion.

⏰ Quick tip: pain and/or swelling that doesn't go away, severe bug bite reactions or persistent vomiting lasting 24+ hours all need professional attention quickly.

Why waste precious summer days feeling miserable? SouthStar Urgent Care offers walk-in care and evening hours to get you back to making memories fast!

Delaying medical care can be uncomfortable and potentially even dangerous. And it’s unnecessary: SouthStar Urgent Care is here to help. Our clinics have become the answer for what to do when you can’t be seen by your primary care provider.

Cold, flu and COVID-19 symptoms look a lot alike, making it hard to know for sure which virus you’ve contracted (yes, colds are viruses too). All are contagious, but they can wreak havoc in different ways – and have very different treatment options. Because of this, we encourage early testing if you feel the telltale signs, and if in doubt, stay home. Learn more on our blog, and of course, SouthStar Urgent Care is always here for testing.

09/20/2024

Although 98.6F is the ‘normal’ temperature, it’s common for it to vary from 97-99 depending on age and how the temperature is taken. Lower temps are common for those 64 and over.

For everyone three months and up, the simplest way to take a temperature is using a digital temporal (forehead) thermometer, but an oral thermometer works well too. (They’re just not recommended for children under four years.) Though you might remember having your temperature taken under your armpit, that method isn’t as accurate. If your reading shows a temperature of 99.5-100.3, it’s considered a low-grade fever. Over 100.5 is a strong signal that something’s wrong.

This blog gosouthstar.com/health-blog/which-over-the-counter-drug-to-take-fevers-aches-and-pains/offers guidance for when it's okay to take a fever reducer (and which to choose), and when to head to SouthStar Urgent Care.

Although it’s not yet the height of cough season, winter illnesses aren't the only cough culprit. Many people experience cough as a side effect of a cold or allergies – usually because of sinus drainage that aggravates the throat. In case you find yourself coughing before summer sets, we’re bringing back our “Hacks for a hacking cough” blog. This article https://gosouthstar.com/health-blog/tips-and-tricks-for-that-persistent-cough/discusses when a lingering cough should get medical attention at GoSouthStar.com.

Today's a day off for most people, but those in essential services, like many of us at SouthStar Urgent Care, are on the job to ensure our communities have the care they need. It's a good reminder that while Labor Day has come to represent the last hoorah of summer, its significance is rooted in the celebration of the labor movement. We encourage everyone to take a moment today to reflect on and celebrate all that is made possible thanks to the dedication of workers like our team members... and you, too!
