How we help in Arlington
Recognizing Serious Flu Symptoms
While most seasonal bugs get better with rest, some symptoms need a doctor's attention right away. At PrimeCare Emergency Center, our board-certified physicians are here 24/7 to determine if you're dealing with a standard flu or something more dangerous. Getting care early is the best way to prevent complications like pneumonia from setting in.
When home care isn't enough
Emergency Red Flags for Adults
Adults should seek emergency medical help if they have trouble breathing, feel short of breath, or experience constant pain and pressure in the chest or stomach. Other serious warning signs include sudden confusion, severe dizziness, or an inability to stay awake. We use advanced diagnostics to ensure patients with these symptoms are evaluated and treated immediately.
Keeping your family safe
Warning Signs in Children
Children need close monitoring because their symptoms can take a turn for the worse very quickly. Emergency signs for kids include fast or labored breathing, bluish lips, and seeing their ribs pull in with every breath. You should also watch for signs of severe dehydration, like no urine for eight hours, as well as seizures or a fever over 104°F. We have a dedicated pediatric room to keep our youngest patients comfortable while they receive care.
Advanced care on-site
Fast Testing and Extended Monitoring
Our Arlington emergency room has a full on-site lab that provides flu, strep, and COVID-19 results in less than an hour. Unlike a standard urgent care, we can provide up to 23 hours of observational care if you need continued monitoring. With no wait times and advanced imaging like CT scans and digital X-rays, we are ready to provide the care you need the moment you arrive.
