Speedy Ear Infection Treatment Available at Our Walk-In Clinic Near Tomball, TX
If you or your child has an ear infection, the symptoms probably came on quickly, and you’d like to get treatment just as fast, so you don’t want to wait until your family doctor can squeeze you in for an appointment. You may consider seeking ear infection treatment at an emergency room, but ER lines are long and ear infections are less serious than many other health conditions that cause people to seek emergency treatment. This means you’ll probably be in for a long wait.
Fortunately for those in the Tomball, Texas, area, there’s a better alternative: Medella Urgent Care. At our nearby Vintage Park location, we treat walk-in patients of all ages—including infants—for ear infections and other non-life-threatening illnesses, and we’re open during extended hours every day of the week. Our wait times are short, and our services are much more affordable than ER treatment. We also accept many health insurance plans.
Types of Ear Infections We Treat
Intense ear pain is usually caused by an infection of either the middle or outer ear. The highly qualified medical practitioners at Medella Urgent Care are experienced at diagnosing and treating both types of ear infections. Additionally, because many ear infections occur as patients are recovering from a bout with the flu or an allergic reaction, we offer on-site medical testing that helps our staff pinpoint and effectively treat the cause of the infection.
Ear Infection Treatment for Kids
Infants and toddlers are especially susceptible to middle ear infections, and they lack the language skills to describe their symptoms. Medella Urgent Care is proud to be the Tomball parent’s top choice for pediatric urgent care that fits into today’s hectic schedules. Here are a few of the ear infection warning signs that young children often display:
- Tugging or pulling at an ear
- Sleeping difficulties
- Fussiness and excessive crying
- Fever of 100 degrees or higher
- Drainage of fluid from the ear
- Loss of appetite
