What Is Acute Illness Management?
An acute illness is a health condition that develops suddenly, lasts for a short period of time, and often responds to medical treatment. This category includes upper respiratory infections, gastrointestinal bugs, seasonal diseases, and minor injuries that require light attention. Acute illness management at Atlantic Physicians Group focuses on diagnosing and treating these short-term health concerns so you can get back to your routine with minimal disruption or discomfort. Our goal is to provide prompt, accurate evaluation and relief, helping you feel better as quickly and safely as possible.

How Does Acute Illness Management Work?
During your visit, we will ask about your symptoms, perform an exam, and possibly order tests, like rapid strep, flu swabs, urinalysis, or blood work, to confirm a diagnosis. Depending on your condition, your treatment may involve prescription medication, over-the-counter recommendations, strategies to manage and limit symptoms, or guidance on the next steps if your condition doesn't improve. No matter your concerns, we will customize your treatment plan to ensure it meets your needs and helps you get back to feeling like yourself again.
