If you experience a sudden, severe asthma attack, you should call 911 or head to an emergency room immediately. If the symptoms are less serious but are still causing discomfort, visit Fast Track Urgent Care for treatment. Our board-certified doctors and clinicians will be able to quickly assess your symptoms and offer relief.
Fast Track’s doctors can also prescribe an asthma treatment plan, if needed.
Bronchitis Treatment
You may have acute bronchitis if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
