When should I go to urgent care vs the ER in Boston?
Go to urgent care for non-life-threatening illness or injury: fevers, sprains, infections, minor cuts, mild asthma, UTIs, flu, rashes. Go to the ER for chest pain, severe abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, sudden weakness or numbness, severe head injury, heavy bleeding, severe burns, or any potentially life-threatening symptom. When in doubt with a serious symptom, call 911.

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.
