  • 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.
