Whether you wake up with unmistakable throat pain or feel a worrisome scratchiness come on during the day, a sore throat is a symptom you don’t want to ignore, especially when it’s accompanied by a fever.

We offer convenient telemedicine services during which you can consult with one of our highly qualified medical practitioners via your video-enabled smartphone or mobile device. After discussing your symptoms and medical history, you may be advised to seek testing at our urgent care clinic, where we treat patients of all ages for a wide variety of non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries. To get started, you can book your virtual consultation using our convenient online check-in service.

What to Expect With Sore Throat Treatment From Ouch Urgent Care

A sore throat can indicate infection from a variety of different viruses and bacteria. It can also stem from allergies or smoking. Pinpointing the source of your sore throat is the first step in determining the best treatment, and that may require testing. Ouch Urgent Care is equipped with an on-site lab, and we offer testing for strep throat and influenza, both of which are common causes of throat pain. Your test results will help our medical team recommend the best sore throat treatment for you.

Throat pain is also one of many symptoms reported by patients who have contracted COVID-19. After your virtual consultation, we may recommend rapid coronavirus testing for you, which is a car-side test that we provide at our urgent care clinic.

At Ouch Urgent Care, we strive to make nonemergency health care services accessible to everyone in our St. Johns and Carson City communities. We’re open daily, and our rates are more affordable than those at the emergency room. We also accept many health insurance plans, including Medicaid and McLaren Health Plan.
