Acute Conditions 

Acute conditions are illnesses or injuries that appear suddenly and require prompt medical attention. 

At EveryMed GP Clinic, we offer fast, effective treatment for a wide range of short-term health issues. 

Whether you’re dealing with an infection, injury, or sudden pain, our GPs provide timely diagnosis and treatment to help you recover quickly and safely.

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). 

They often require immediate evaluation to prevent complications.

Examples include infections, minor injuries, fever, flu, stomach issues, allergic reactions, and respiratory conditions.

Early diagnosis ensures faster recovery and prevents serious complications.

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.
