Just as common as sunburn
If you were asked to name the most common warm weather infirmity that
is treated at urgent care clinics, chances are that sunburn would be the
overwhelming answer. However, there are two or three other health problems that
are just as common, and usually are more serious.
Without fail, every year we expose ourselves to more germs, push our
bodies a little harder, and partake in activities that may result in mishaps
that leave us in pain. Urgent Care Centers can get you back in the summer fun
as fast as possible, but remember the old adage, “An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.” You are definitely better off avoiding these common
summertime illnesses and injuries in the first place.
- Asthma attacks
- Swimmer's ear
- Food poisoning
