Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
Urinary tract, sinus, and other infections

If you experience severe symptoms or a long-lasting illness, see the team at LaSante Health Center for an evaluation.

Should I schedule a sick visit?

Because many illnesses subside on their own, it can be difficult to determine when medical intervention is necessary. As a rule, schedule a sick visit if you or your child has:

A fever lasting more than three days
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Widespread rash
Breathing problems
Persistent throat, head, ear, or stomach pain
Unusual symptoms lasting more than three days

If you’re unsure if you should schedule a sick visit, the LaSante Health Center team is happy to offer advice when you call the office.

What should I expect during sick visits?

During sick visits at LaSante Health Center, your provider checks your weight, pulse, blood pressure, temperature, and other vital signs. They ask questions about your symptoms, medications, and medical history.

Your provider completes a comprehensive physical exam by evaluating your heart, breathing, reflexes, abdomen, limbs, eyes, nose, ears, and throat.

Based on your symptoms and physical exam results, your provider might recommend diagnostic tests. Examples include nasal or throat swabs, blood tests, urine tests, tissue biopsies, asthma or allergy tests, X-rays, or other imaging procedures to diagnose your condition.
