Urgent care can diagnose and treat both pink eye (conjunctivitis) and ear infections in one visit, for adults and children. Go to urgent care for eye redness with discharge, ear pain, or pain with fever. Go to the ER for sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, an eye injury, or ear pain with a stiff neck, confusion or swelling behind the ear.

Yes. Urgent care is a good place to go for a urinary tract infection (UTI). Providers can test your urine on site, diagnose a UTI in one visit and prescribe antibiotics if you need them. Go to the ER instead if you have a high fever, shaking chills, vomiting, or pain in your back or side, which can be signs of a kidney infection.

Use urgent care when you need an in-person exam, test or treatment today, such as for a sprain, cut, sore throat or suspected infection. Use primary care for checkups, ongoing conditions and anything that can wait a few days. Use telehealth for simple problems a provider can assess by video, like many colds, allergies, rashes and prescription questions. Use the ER for emergencies.

Go to the ER or call 911 for a fever of 100.4°F or higher in a baby under 3 months, trouble breathing, a seizure, unusual sleepiness or confusion, signs of severe dehydration, or a serious injury.
