Ear Infections

Bacteria or viruses can cause inflammation in the inner, middle, or outer ear, leading to pain, pressure, fluid buildup, or muffled hearing. Our providers can quickly evaluate your symptoms and recommend the right treatment to ease discomfort and reduce the risk of complications.

Ear Wax Buildup

Excess earwax can lead to itching, pressure, earaches, or even temporary hearing loss. Trying to clean your ears at home, especially with cotton swabs, often pushes wax deeper and worsens symptoms. We provide safe, gentle earwax removal to help restore comfort and hearing clarity.

Swimmer’s Ear (Water Exposure)

Water trapped in the ear after swimming or showering can lead to an outer ear infection called swimmer’s ear. This condition may cause pain, redness, swelling, or drainage. Our team treats swimmer's ear with prescription ear drops and personalized care to relieve discomfort and support fast healing.

Allergies or Sinus Pressure

Seasonal allergies and sinus congestion can cause pressure that makes your ears feel full, blocked, or achy. This is especially common during Ohio’s peak pollen seasons. We help relieve ear discomfort caused by allergies and offer guidance on managing common environmental triggers.

Bacterial or Viral Eye Infections

Infections like conjunctivitis (pink eye) can cause red, itchy eyes with discharge and light sensitivity. These conditions spread easily, especially in classrooms, offices, and other shared spaces. UH Urgent Care provides fast, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment to relieve symptoms and help prevent the infection from spreading.

Styes (Blocked Oil Glands)

A stye is a red, swollen bump along the eyelid, usually caused by a blocked or infected oil gland. It can be painful and irritating. Our team can help reduce inflammation, encourage healing, and minimize the risk of future flare-ups.

Allergies to Pollen or Pet Dander

Just like with the ears, allergies can affect the eyes, especially during Ohio’s peak allergy seasons. Pollen, pet dander, and other allergens may lead to red, itchy, watery, or puffy eyes. We’ll help identify if allergies are behind your symptoms and provide targeted treatments to relieve irritation and keep flare-ups under control.

Contact Lens Irritation & Dry Eye

Wearing contact lenses for too long or spending time in dry environments can leave your eyes feeling gritty, tired, or blurry. Improper lens use can also make dry eye symptoms worse, which is a condition where your eyes don’t produce enough natural moisture. If at-home remedies aren’t working, UH Urgent Care can provide effective relief and expert tips to help protect your eye health and comfort.

Colds or Sinus Infections

A blocked or stuffy nose can make it hard to sleep, concentrate, or breathe with ease. Often caused by colds or sinus infections, congestion can linger without proper care. Our providers offer quick evaluations and targeted treatments to help clear your sinuses and get you back to feeling better fast.

Seasonal Allergies

Frequent sneezing, runny nose, or nasal stuffiness may seem like a cold, but if symptoms linger, allergies could be the cause. We identify common allergy triggers and provide targeted treatments designed for fast, long-lasting relief, so you can breathe easier and feel more comfortable day to day.

Blocked Sinuses

Facial pressure, headaches, and postnasal drip are all signs your sinuses may be blocked. Whether it’s due to a sinus infection or ongoing irritation, UH Urgent Care can identify the cause and provide the right treatment to clear your sinuses and relieve discomfort so you can breathe easier and feel more like yourself.

Environmental Irritants (Dust, Smoke, Pollution)

Dust, smoke, air pollution, and other everyday irritants can inflame your nasal passages, causing sneezing, stuffiness, or even a scratchy throat. We’ll help ease irritation, rule out infection, and provide personalized care tips to support lasting relief and protect your respiratory health.
