Signs You Should Visit Urgent Care for a Cough

If you’ve been dealing with an upper respiratory illness, you may wonder when to see urgent care for a cough.

Here are some reasons to consider a visit to a medical professional at urgent care when you’re dealing with cough symptoms:

If the cough lasts for more than three weeks (treatment for persistent cough).
If the cough is accompanied by chest pain, difficulty breathing, high fever, or coughing up blood.
If you have health issues like asthma or a weak immune system, the cough worsens over time.
If you've been in areas with contagious illnesses or close to someone with a bad cough, whooping cough, or COVID-19.

If your child has a persistent cough, it’s vital to visit pediatric urgent care for prompt evaluation and treatment, especially if they are also experiencing breathing difficulties or a high fever.

Cold Symptoms That Need Medical Attention

When faced with the discomfort of a cold, understanding when to seek urgent care from trusted providers is essential.

Here’s when to see a healthcare provider for a cold:

The cold symptoms persist for an extended period, especially if they last more than a few weeks.
Severe symptoms accompany the cold, such as breathing difficulties, high fever, or chest pain.
You have pre-existing health conditions like asthma or a compromised immune system, which the cold could worsen.
Concerns about dehydration arise due to the inability to keep fluids down.

CareWell also provides urgent care testing (flu, COVID, strep) to identify if your cold is part of a more serious illness.

Coughs and colds often come with additional symptoms that make you feel even worse, like a fever or a sore throat that makes swallowing painful.
