What conditions do walk-in clinics treat?
It depends on which clinic you go to, but most walk-in clinics treat conditions such as: • Sinus infections or upper respiratory infections • Bladder infections • Strep throat • Pink eye or styes • Minor injuries, such as burns or sprains • Skin conditions, such as warts or eczema Some clinics also provide other services, such as flu or tetanus vaccinations, routine physicals for school or work, and pregnancy tests. Because not every clinic treats these conditions, call ahead or check the clinic’s Web site to make sure you can receive the care you’re looking for. Also, some clinics have age restrictions on who they’ll treat for certain conditions. For example, some clinics will only treat bladder infections for women and girls 13 and older.
