Ear, Nose & Throat Care

WHAT ARE EAR, NOSE, AND THROAT (ENT) INFECTIONS?

Ear, nose, and throat infections are commonly seen in adults and children alike. When you have a minor ENT condition, you may need immediate care, which is why Your Family Medical Clinic provides urgent care services for patients with a variety of acute issues, including sinus infections (sinusitis), ear infections, colds, flu, strep throat, and upper respiratory infections. ENT infections can produce uncomfortable symptoms, such as:

• Sinus pain
• Nasal congestion
• Cough
• Fever
• Sore throat
• Chest congestion
• Nausea or vomiting
• Ear pain

If you need urgent ENT care for yourself, your child or another loved one, reach out to our caring team to schedule a visit today.

HOW ARE ENT INFECTIONS TREATED?

One of our providers will assess your ears, nose, and throat and learn about your symptoms and health history. If needed, we can provide on-site lab testing, including blood work, or strep tests. The appropriate course of treatment will be recommended based on your issue. Most viral infections will clear up on their own within about a week or so, but for bacterial infections, a course of antibiotics may be prescribed.
