Sick Visits

When you’re under the weather with worsening symptoms, sick visits provide the acute care you need to protect your health. Board-certified Hannah Tolar, MSN, FNP-C, at Southeastern Health and Wellness in Malone, Florida, offers sick visits to help you handle the injuries, infections, and illnesses that crop up unexpectedly. Whenever you have an issue that isn't life-threatening but requires prompt care, call Southeastern Health and Wellness or book your sick visit online today. Telehealth appointments may also be available.

When should I schedule a sick visit?

Primary care and women’s health services aim to keep you healthy and thriving as much as possible, but acute ailments naturally arise at times. These illnesses and injuries come with miserable symptoms that keep you from your daily routine. Hannah’s prompt care helps relieve your pain and speeds up your road to recovery.

Schedule a sick visit if you have an acute issue like:

• Lingering joint pain
• Severe sunburn
• Sore throat
• Earaches
• Flu
• Rashes
• Swimmer’s ear
• Fever
• Headache
• Colds or coughs
• Ear infections
• Abdominal pain
• Nausea or vomiting
• Motion sickness
• Insect bites, such as tick bites

It’s a good idea to check in with Southeastern Health and Wellness to prevent complications from common illnesses like the flu.

When should I seek emergency care instead of booking a sick visit?

Sick visits aim to treat the inconvenient, uncomfortable, but non-life-threatening ailments that everyone suffers at times. Some symptoms, however, point to more serious issues and need immediate care. 

These include:

• Bleeding that won’t stop
• Severe abdominal pain
• Stroke symptoms like sudden weakness or numbness
• Chest pain
• Trouble breathing
• Confusion or changes in mental status
• Severe head pain or injury
• Seizures
• Allergic reactions like severe swelling
• Any suspected ingestion of a poisonous substance

If you have severe symptoms, don’t delay. Seek care at the nearest emergency room, or call 911.

I don’t feel well. Can I request a telehealth sick visit?

When you contact Southeastern Health and Wellness for a sick visit, you may be able to stay at home and still get the advice you need. While Hannah needs to see you in person to diagnose and treat certain conditions, telehealth can be a good option if you experience:

• Pain
• Congestion
• Fever
• Minor cuts and burns
• Some respiratory illnesses
• Flu
• Headaches or earaches
• Nausea
• Back pain or strain
• Pink eye
• Yeast infections

Hannah may prescribe some medications, including antibiotics, after a telehealth visit. If you need more tests, Southeastern Health and Wellness provides lab testing in-office for quick answers.

For compassionate care when you need it the most, schedule your sick visit online or call Southeastern Health and Wellness today.
