Infectious & Acute Illness in Fairfax, South Riding, Merrifield & Tysons, VA

Infectious and acute illnesses are common health concerns that can strike suddenly and can be very disruptive. From viral infections like the common cold to bacterial conditions such as strep throat, these illnesses require prompt attention and appropriate care.

Prima Medicine understands that getting sick isn’t something you can plan for, which is why our team is equipped to diagnose and treat a wide range of acute conditions affecting adults throughout the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area.

The common cold is one of the most frequent reasons adults seek medical care, causing symptoms such as congestion, sore throat, coughing, and fatigue. While most colds resolve on their own within 7-10 days, our providers can help you manage uncomfortable symptoms and determine whether your condition requires additional treatment. 

Strep throat is a bacterial infection that causes severe throat pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. Strep throat requires antibiotic treatment to prevent complications. Our team performs rapid strep testing to quickly diagnose the condition and prescribe appropriate antibiotics.
