Understanding Common Infections and Allergies

Colds, flu, and mild infections are among the most frequent reasons for doctor visits. They are usually viral or bacterial in origin, while allergic reactions occur when the body’s immune system overreacts to harmless substances.

Common conditions we treat include:

• Viral infections: Common cold, influenza, and seasonal viruses
• Bacterial infections: Throat, ear, sinus, or urinary tract infections
• Gastrointestinal infections: Food poisoning and stomach flu
• Allergic reactions: Skin rashes, sneezing, watery eyes, or mild asthma flare-ups
• Respiratory allergies: Sensitivity to dust, pollen, or environmental triggers

Timely medical care ensures faster recovery and helps prevent chronic complications.

When to Seek Medical Care

You should book a consultation if you experience:

• High or persistent fever
• Sore throat, cough, or nasal congestion lasting more than a few days
• Shortness of breath or chest discomfort
• Ear pain, sinus pressure, or facial pain
• Digestive issues like vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration
• Skin rashes or swelling due to allergic reactions
• Recurrent infections or worsening allergy symptoms

Our family physicians provide minor skin procedures in a comfortable, sterile environment, using methods tailored to each condition. Learn more about our full Family Medicine Services.

Understanding Common Skin Concerns

• Warts: Small, rough growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), often found on hands or feet.
• Skin tags: Soft, painless growths of skin, commonly appearing on the neck, armpits, or under the breasts.
• Lipomas: Soft, fatty lumps beneath the skin that grow slowly and are usually harmless but may require removal if painful or enlarging.

Though usually noncancerous, proper medical evaluation ensures the growth is safe and treated appropriately.

You may benefit from a skin procedure if you experience:

• Growths that increase in size or change in appearance
• Skin lesions causing irritation, bleeding, or recurrent infection
• Cosmetic concerns from visible warts, skin tags, or lipomas
• Pain, discomfort, or restriction of movement due to a lump
• Uncertainty about whether a growth is benign or requires further testing
