Asthma Treatment

Urgent Care Asthma Treatment in Connecticut and New York

Residents of Connecticut and New York can rely on Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care for asthma treatment. Our network of urgent care centers has been treating patients since 2008, and we take pride in delivering top-quality care with ease and speed.

Asthma Symptoms

Asthma causes the lung’s airways to narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus. When this happens, it can lead to:

  • Difficulty breathing
  • Shortness of breath
  • Coughing
  • Wheezing
  • Chest pain or tightness

Asthma Triggers

Many individuals experience mild asthma symptoms on a regular basis. But asthma symptoms can also be brought on by certain triggers. Some common causes of asthma attacks include:

  • Allergies
  • Certain medications (e.g., beta blockers and NSAIDs)
  • Cold and dry air
  • Environmental irritants (e.g., dust and smoke)
  • Exercise
  • Respiratory infections (e.g., the common cold and pneumonia)
  • Stress

Asthma Management & Treatment

If you think you might have asthma, it’s important to consult with a professional, since treatment can help manage symptoms, slow the condition’s progression, and prevent complications. Asthma treatment often includes avoiding triggers, using an inhaler, and taking medication.

Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care treats mild asthma flare-ups, but you should be sure to call 911 or get to a nearby emergency room if your shortness of breath or wheezing is rapidly worsening, your symptoms don’t improve after using an inhaler, or you experience shortness of breath even when performing minimal physical activity.

Don’t Wait to Get the Asthma Care You Need

One of the benefits of choosing Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care for asthma treatment is that we make it easy for you to get the care you require.

Plus, we offer an integrated 24/7 telehealth service for times when our offices are closed or you simply don’t feel up to leaving the house. Whichever option you choose, you can count on our skilled providers to deliver the professional, fast, and friendly urgent care you deserve.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the attention you gave me last week.

My son was started on antibiotics and ear drops. Within 24 hours he began to feel better. The poor kid had been going to school in tears because he was afraid of missing any more days, but feeling (and looking) just awful! He's not been able to even think about lacrosse practice, but thanks to starting him on antibiotics, he was thrilled to return to practice today.
