We all know Mucormycosis is a serious infection and needs to be treated immediately with prescription antifungal medicine. In most cases amphotericin B, posaconazole, or isavuconazole is used. These medicines are given through a vein (amphotericin B, posaconazole, isavuconazole) or by mouth (posaconazole, isavuconazole). The other line of treatment which includes fluconazole, voriconazole, and echinocandins, does not work against fungi that cause mucormycosis. Often, mucormycosis requires surgery to cut away the infected tissue.

Sixty per cent to 70 per cent of the patients who come with black fungus had not taken the vaccine, 25-30 per cent had taken one dose, and less than five per cent had taken both doses. Thus, people who have taken both doses have a good chance of COVID-19 infection and are much less prone to black fungus.Talk to our Specialists to learn more.

Urgent Care at SecondMedic: Quick, Reliable Medical Help When You Need It Most

Emergencies don’t wait — and neither should your healthcare. Whether it’s a high fever at midnight or sudden chest discomfort, SecondMedic Urgent Care ensures you’re never alone when you need help the most.

What Is Urgent Care?

Urgent care bridges the gap between a routine doctor visit and an emergency room. It’s meant for sudden but non-critical illnesses that require prompt attention — such as:

  • Viral fever, flu, or infections

  • Dehydration and food poisoning

  • Minor cuts, burns, or allergic reactions

  • Sudden headaches, back pain, or fatigue

  • Prescription renewals
     

Unlike hospital visits, SecondMedic urgent care saves time — consult online within minutes, no waiting room, no delay.

Why Urgent Care Is Vital in India

AIIMS Delhi’s 2024 report confirms that early intervention in fever, asthma, and minor infections prevents 1 in 5 ER admissions.

Fever, cough, sore throat
Stomach pain or vomiting
Allergic skin rash
Dehydration or weakness
