Should I contact the office?

What information should I share?
Be ready to describe your symptoms, how long you have had them, and any fever or other concerns. This helps the team recommend the right next step.
Are infections treated in primary care?
Many common infections, such as urinary tract infections, skin infections, and respiratory infections, are treated in primary care. Your provider will determine what is appropriate.
When is urgent or emergency care needed?
If you have severe symptoms, a high fever that is not improving, or signs of a serious infection, seek urgent or emergency care. When in doubt, call your provider for guidance.
