April flowers might bring May showers, but before (and while) those flowers bloom, many people find themselves suffering from springtime allergies. Though the symptoms of environmental allergies aren’t a bit fun, at Pinnacle Urgent Care we’re experienced at relieving them – and we’re here to help.

You might be wondering: What allergy support can an urgent care provide? The answer is: LOTS! Our allergy support at Pinnacle includes:

Stronger Medications

When over-the-counter allergy meds just aren’t cutting it anymore, we can up the ante by prescribing stronger antihistamines, decongestants, or nasal sprays. Based on your symptoms, what other medications you might be taking, and what kind of allergy issues you’re dealing with, we’ll choose the best prescription option for you to get you relief quickly.

Cortisone Shots

If medication isn’t working well for you (even prescription meds) and you’re dealing with some inflammation due to allergies, going the steroid injection route can be a great way to find both immediate and long-lasting relief. They work by suppressing your immune system’s inflammation response, and these injections can prove extremely helpful in cases where other allergy treatment options just aren’t cutting it.

Breathing Treatments

If you’re unable to breathe, please choose the ER. But if you’re experiencing less severe breathing-related responses to allergies (such as wheezing), Pinnacle Urgent Care can help you alleviate those symptoms with breathing treatments like nebulizers. 

Referrals

After we’ve helped you get relief from your symptoms, we can also refer you to an allergist if you don’t currently have one. That eliminates the need for you to visit your PCP for a referral, and can help you get access to allergy testing and long-term management more quickly and seamlessly.
