Cough, Cold & Sore Throat Treatment

Walk-in cough, cold and sore throat care in the Roanoke Valley. Rapid strep testing on site, treatment before you leave, no appointment needed at three clinics.

Overview

What it is

Coughs, congestion, and sore throats send more people to urgent care than almost anything else — especially from fall through spring. Most are caused by viruses that simply need time, but some sore throats are strep throat, which needs a prescription antibiotic to prevent complications. The hard part is that they can feel identical in the first day or two. On-site rapid strep testing takes the guesswork out of it.
