What Are Acute Conditions?
Acute conditions are health problems that develop rapidly and typically last for a short period (from a few hours to a few weeks).Â
They often require immediate evaluation to prevent complications.
Examples include infections, minor injuries, fever, flu, stomach issues, allergic reactions, and respiratory conditions.

Our Approach to Acute Care
We prioritise fast access and effective treatment to ensure you feel better as quickly as possible. Our approach includes:
- Same-day appointments whenever possible
- Thorough symptom assessment
- Vital signs and physical examinations
- On-site tests where needed (blood tests, urine tests, ECG)
- Evidence-based treatment and medication
- Clear home-care instructions
- Follow-up if symptoms worsen
Why Prompt Treatment Matters
Untreated acute conditions can:
- Worsen rapidly
- Cause unnecessary pain or discomfort
- Spread infection
- Lead to dehydration or complications
- Develop into chronic issues
Seeking medical help early helps prevent these outcomes.
When to See a GP for an Acute Condition
Book an appointment if you experience:
- Fever lasting more than 48 hours
- Persistent cough, chest tightness, or breathing difficulty
- Sudden stomach pain, vomiting, or diarrhoea
- Painful urination or blood in urine
- Red, swollen, or painful skin
- Sudden headaches or migraines
- Allergic reactions or unexplained rashes
- Injuries that require cleaning, dressing, or pain relief
- Symptoms that do not improve with home care
Seek emergency care for severe breathing difficulties, chest pain, or signs of anaphylaxis.

EXCELLENT Based on 86 reviews Posted on oyisile njisaneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited Every Smile Dentistry for the first time today and I am pleased with the service I received. The receptions was very warm and welcoming. I was attended to by Dr A Somtunzi who was also so friendly and welcoming. I had my teeth cleaned and a filling done. She gave a detailed explanation of what needed to be done. She was so gentle and I felt no discomfort at all. I’m happy with the work she did. Outside the excellent service, I think the thoughtful gesture of having ladies essentials in the rest room for everyone to use won my heartPosted on lenyora magocobaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a filling and washing of teeth. Amazing pain-free experience, user friendly from online booking to sitting on the dental chair. GQEBERHA branch treated me soft.Posted on Phelisa GcangaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Haven't gone to the dentist in years so I was really nervous about this visit but the atmosphere in that office? So calm and so friendly.
