Sore Throat Treatment Available to Walk-In Patients From the Spring, TX, Area
Did you wake up this morning with a sore throat? Or maybe you felt some scratchiness early in the day, and then that irritation mushroomed into full-blown pain by the afternoon. Sore throats are so common that pretty much everyone will experience them, but they’re not all the same. For a trained medical professional, the severity of throat pain and how fast it came on can provide clues to what’s causing it, and identifying the cause is key to getting sore throat relief as quickly as possible.

We’re open seven days a week, and we don’t require appointments. But you can book a time to come in using our online scheduling service if you wish.
Sore Throat Testing Services Available at Our Walk-In Clinic Near Spring
Getting an accurate diagnosis of the illness that’s causing your sore throat is step one in determining the most effective treatment. That’s why we offer same-day lab testing for:
- Influenza A and B, the viruses that cause flu infections
- Strep A, the bacteria that cause strep throat
- Viruses that can cause mononucleosis
- SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19
These infectious organisms are all common causes of sore throats, but allergies can also be to blame.
