Board-Certified Primary Care & Internal Medicine Physician — Plainview, NY

Common Illnesses & Conditions Treated at Sick Visits in Plainview, NY

At AFI Doctors, our sick visits in Plainview NY cover a comprehensive range of acute illnesses, infections, and injuries. Here is a detailed look at what Dr. Singh commonly diagnoses and treats at same-day and scheduled sick visits:

🤒

Cold, Flu & COVID-19 Treatment in Plainview, NY

Respiratory viral illnesses are among the most common reasons for sick visits. Rapid in-office testing distinguishes between cold, flu, and COVID — allowing Dr. Singh to prescribe appropriate antiviral treatment when indicated and get you started on the right recovery path without guesswork.

  • Rapid influenza A & B test — results in minutes
  • Rapid COVID-19 antigen testing
  • Tamiflu (oseltamivir) — flu antiviral prescription
  • Paxlovid — COVID antiviral for eligible patients
  • Fever management and symptom relief
  • Return-to-work and return-to-school guidance
  • High-risk patient monitoring — elderly, diabetic, immunocompromised
🦠

Strep Throat & Sore Throat Treatment

Strep throat requires antibiotic treatment to prevent complications like rheumatic fever — but most sore throats are viral and do not. Rapid strep testing at your sick visit tells Dr. Singh exactly what she is dealing with, so you get the right treatment, not just antibiotics by default.

  • Rapid strep A test — in-office, minutes to result
  • Throat culture when indicated
  • Amoxicillin and alternative antibiotics for strep
  • Viral sore throat — appropriate symptom management
  • Peritonsillar abscess evaluation and referral
  • Mono (EBV) consideration and testing
  • Pediatric and adult strep management
👂

Ear Infections & Sinus Infections

Ear pain, sinus pressure, and facial pain are miserable symptoms that often need medical attention to resolve. Dr. Singh evaluates and treats both bacterial and viral ear and sinus conditions, with appropriate antibiotic prescriptions when genuinely indicated.

  • Otoscopic ear examination
  • Otitis media (middle ear infection) treatment
  • Otitis externa (swimmer's ear) treatment
  • Acute bacterial sinusitis — antibiotic prescription
  • Viral sinusitis — saline, decongestant, symptom management
  • Nasal steroids and antihistamines when appropriate
  • ENT referral for recurrent or complicated cases
🚽

UTI & Urinary Tract Infections in Plainview, NY

Urinary tract infections are painful, disruptive, and potentially serious if they ascend to the kidneys. Dr. Singh evaluates and treats UTIs same-day with in-office urinalysis — so you start antibiotics quickly and avoid the progression to a kidney infection.

  • In-office urinalysis — immediate results
  • Urine culture referral for complex or recurrent UTIs
  • Antibiotic prescription same visit
  • Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) evaluation
  • STD co-testing when symptoms overlap
  • Recurrent UTI evaluation and prevention planning
  • Post-treatment follow-up as needed
🩹

Minor Injuries & Wound Care

Not every injury needs an emergency room — but it does deserve proper medical evaluation. Dr. Singh treats a range of minor injuries at sick visits in Plainview NY, keeping you out of the ER while ensuring appropriate diagnosis and care.

  • Sprains and strains — ankle, wrist, knee
  • Minor lacerations — wound cleaning and closure
  • Minor burns — first and second degree
  • Sports injuries — evaluation and guidance
  • Bruising and soft tissue injury management
  • X-ray referral for suspected fractures
  • Tetanus status review and booster
🧴

Rashes, Skin Infections & Reactions

Sudden rashes, bug bites, and skin infections are among the most common and varied reasons for sick visits. Dr. Singh provides thorough dermatological evaluation at your sick visit — with referral to dermatology when needed for complex cases.

  • Rashes — allergic, contact, viral, drug-related
  • Cellulitis — skin infections requiring antibiotics
  • Shingles — early diagnosis and antiviral treatment
  • Impetigo — pediatric and adult skin infection
  • Tick bite evaluation — Lyme disease screening
  • Hives and urticaria management
  • Bug bite reactions and wound infection
🤢

Nausea, Vomiting & Digestive Issues

Acute gastrointestinal illness — from food poisoning to viral gastroenteritis — can hit suddenly and hard. Dr. Singh evaluates GI symptoms quickly, provides appropriate treatment and hydration guidance, and rules out more serious causes that might require further workup.

  • Acute nausea and vomiting — antiemetic prescriptions
  • Viral gastroenteritis — hydration and supportive care
  • Food poisoning evaluation and treatment
  • Stomach pain — acute assessment
  • Diarrhea — acute and infectious management
  • H. pylori testing when indicated
  • Referral to GI for persistent or complex symptoms
🌿

Allergic Reactions & Asthma Flares

Allergic reactions — from hives and itching to mild throat symptoms — and asthma flare-ups need prompt medical evaluation to prevent escalation. Dr. Singh assesses and treats acute allergic and respiratory conditions efficiently at sick visits.

  • Allergic reactions — hives, itching, mild facial swelling
  • Antihistamine and corticosteroid treatment
  • Asthma exacerbation — rescue inhaler review
  • COPD flare — medication adjustment
  • Seasonal allergy symptom management
  • EpiPen prescription for at-risk patients
  • Referral to allergy specialist as needed
🧠

Headaches, Dizziness & Acute Pain

Sudden severe headaches, unexplained dizziness, and acute pain episodes deserve medical evaluation — both to treat effectively and to rule out concerning causes. Dr. Singh assesses these symptoms thoroughly at sick visits with your full history as context.

  • Migraine evaluation and treatment
  • Tension and sinus headache management
  • Sudden severe headache — red flag evaluation
  • Vertigo and dizziness — BPPV, vestibular assessment
  • Acute back and musculoskeletal pain
