Yes. Urgent care providers can prescribe antibiotics for bacterial infections (strep throat, UTIs, sinus and ear infections, skin infections) when clinically appropriate. They follow CDC stewardship guidelines, so they will not prescribe antibiotics for viral illness like the common cold or most cases of bronchitis.

Some urgent care centers offer telehealth visits for non-emergency issues like cold and flu symptoms, prescription refills, rashes, or follow-up care. In-person visits are still required for X-rays, lab tests, and physical exams. Ask the clinic whether it offers telehealth.
