Minor Illness Treatment Clinic in Sarasota FL

A “minor illness” is a broad term that is generally used to describe common and/or uncomplicated conditions that tend to resolve with minimal medical intervention. In this case, medical intervention may include seeing a doctor, using include over-the-counter medications, participating in at-home self-care strategies, and/or receiving prescription treatment.

There is a wide variety of common illnesses that are considered to be minor in nature. Depending on the severity (or lack thereof), these conditions may require medical care from your primary care physician or may resolve on their own with time, rest, and at-home treatment.
 
The most common types of minor illnesses are:
 
• Allergies 
• Athlete’s Foot
• Bug Bites 
• Chest Cold
• Cough 
• Diarrhea
• Earache 
• Eye Infection
• Fever 
• Fungal infections
• Headache
• Nausea 
• Rash
• Runny nose 
• Skin Infections
• Sore Throat 
• STIs
• URI (Upper Respiratory Infection)
• Urinary Tract Infection 
• Yeast infections
 
While not every illness or symptom requires a visit to the doctor, there are times when it is necessary to seek out the medical advice of a professional – especially if your condition is worsening or doesn’t resolve over of week or two. This could be a sign of a much more serious ailment, so it’s important to take note of how you’re feeling and go in if you’re not getting better in a reasonable amount of time.

It can be tricky to know which illnesses and symptoms require a visit to your doctor and which ones will resolve on their own with time and rest.
 
The general rule of thumb is this: if you’re noticing highly unusual symptoms, symptoms that are getting worse, and/or are experiencing symptoms that don’t resolve on their own after 1-2 weeks, you should book in to see your doctor.
 
However, always keep in mind your personal risks factors – such as the ones associated with your age, gender, recent or upcoming surgeries, medications, recent immunizations, or other existing medical conditions. If you suspect that your illness is a result of one of these factors, or that they’re making your illness worse, you should book in to see your doctor as soon as possible.
