What is Acute Illness Care?

Acute care is a branch of medicine used to treat short-term illnesses that are accompanied by severe symptoms. Acute illnesses often do not require surgical medical procedures. An acute illness can vary from broken bones, asthma attacks, burnt body parts, deep cuts, and more. Each medical illness requires various levels of gentle and professional care.

Acute care specialists typically provide patients with immediate and short-term medical care. Timely medical attention is key to treating several acute illnesses. Severe acute illnesses that are not treated in a timely manner with the proper medical care can result in a prolonged illness. Patients can schedule acute sick visits for the serious and sudden onset of an illness, or they might come for a second opinion due to a flare-up from an existing medical condition.
