A sore throat can be more than just a minor inconvenience—it can make eating, drinking, and even speaking difficult. At North Ave Immediate Care in Addison, IL, we provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for sore throats, whether they're caused by infections, allergies, or other factors.
A sore throat is often a symptom of an underlying condition, such as a viral infection (like the common cold or flu), a bacterial infection (such as strep throat), or exposure to allergens or irritants. Identifying the cause is key to choosing the right treatment. Our providers use rapid testing and physical evaluation to determine if your sore throat is due to a viral or bacterial source.
