What is an Acute Disease?
An acute disease refers to a sudden and rapid onset of illness or health condition that typically runs its course over a relatively short period, often just a few days or weeks. These conditions can encompass a range of symptoms, from mild discomfort to more severe issues, and can include illnesses like the flu, gastroenteritis (often known as the “stomach bug”), and the common cold. At Family Medicine Specialists of Texas, our expert medical team is well-equipped to diagnose and manage acute diseases promptly, providing you with effective solutions to help you recover swiftly. If you or your loved ones are experiencing symptoms of an acute illness, don’t hesitate to reach out and schedule an appointment with us for comprehensive care and relief.
When Should I See My Family Physician?
When sudden infection symptoms arise, particularly in infants, children, and individuals with compromised immune systems, seeking guidance from your family doctor is crucial. While not all infections are severe or necessitate medication, a professional diagnosis is vital for effective treatment. At Family Medicine Specialists of Texas, our experienced medical experts can accurately diagnose infections and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include prescription medications to eliminate the infection. Given that certain acute diseases can be contagious, prompt treatment prevents the spread of illness within your family. Trust us to provide expert care and diagnosis for infections, ensuring your well-being and that of your loved ones.
Symptoms of typical acute diseases include:
- Nasal congestion
- Runny nose
- Cough
- Body aches
- Sore throat
- Malaise
- Chills
- Fever
- Nausea
Some acute diseases require immediate medical attention. If you or a loved one are confused, having trouble breathing, experiencing symptoms of organ failure, or have a rapidly spreading infection, proper urgent care is required to prevent further complications. Go to your local emergency room rather than wait to see your family physician.
Nothing is more important than your health, and your family physician is here to make sure that all your loved ones get the care they need!
