Sick Visits Q&A

What are sick visits?

A sick visit is a medical checkup that assesses a specific symptom –– like a stubborn cough or fever.

Most minor illnesses improve with rest, drinking plenty of fluids, and taking over-the-counter medication. But if your illness continues or gets worse, contact Dr. Bryant at B Med Mobile Service right away.

What health problems can benefit from sick visits?

At B Med Mobile Service, Dr. Bryant uses sick visits to diagnose various health problems, including:

  • COVID-19
  • Colds and influenza (flu)
  • Strep throat
  • Bronchitis
  • Fever
  • Asthma
  • Allergies
  • Pneumonia
  • Headaches
  • Pink eye
  • Ear infections
  • Mononucleosis

You might also benefit from a sick visit if you have gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting, nausea, or diarrhea.

When should I schedule a sick visit?

Schedule a sick visit with B Med Mobile Service if your symptoms get worse or fail to improve with at-home treatment. That’s especially true if you have a fever higher than 101.3 degrees and it lasts three days or longer.

What do sick visits involve?

At B Med Mobile Service, a sick visit begins with a review of your medical records and a discussion of your symptoms. Dr. Bryant will need to know when your symptoms started, if you’ve tried at-home treatments, and if the symptoms are getting worse or better.

Next, Dr. Bryant completes a physical exam. If you have a sore throat, she shines a light in your mouth and collects a swab for lab testing. If you have a cough, Dr. Bryant listens to your lungs with a stethoscope and orders spirometry, a lung function test.

Depending on your symptoms, Dr. Bryant might also order diagnostic imaging, bloodwork, or urinalysis. After making a diagnosis, Dr. Bryant develops a custom treatment plan.

What if a sick visit identifies an underlying health problem?

Dr. Bryant develops a custom care plan if she finds an underlying health problem, like strep throat, COVID-19, or the flu, during your sick visit. Conservative treatments are often enough to provide lasting relief. For example, taking anti-inflammatory medication, staying hydrated, and getting plenty of sleep can break a fever.

If you have a viral or bacterial infection, Dr. Bryant might prescribe antibiotics or antiviral medicine.
