Urgent Care of Omaha-168th & Maple
By Jmk0411 April 01, 2016
I've taken my young daughter there twice. Both times it was the same Doctor who apparently doesn't believe in antibiotics. Both times I've had to take my child back in elsewhere the same day or the next and illnesses were found each time that required treatment. It's not always viral guys. ...read more

I strongly urge you to look elsewhere for help. Doctor was sanctimonious, intake "nurse" answered all the intake questions with the answers she preferred. Seriously, go elsewhere. ...read more
Urgent Care of Omaha-168th & Maple
By ZacharyBaker December 22, 2014
Came into the urgent care with my 9 month old son who had a sinus infection, pretty bad one at that. They didn't prescribe him any meds which I understood, but they said to call in 3 days if it hasn't gotten better or if it got worse. Well 3 days is up, we call around 6pm and the lady who answered was very rude and said we can leave a message and someone would call back... you guessed it, no one called back. We then called again around 8pm and got put into a voicemail and left a voicemail. No call back again. So the next morning when my son wakes up and can't even open his eyes they are so swollen we call and they say we have to bring him in, that the doctor who said we can just call in and she will write a prescription is not in today. She said don't come now (10 am), it was busy but around 11:30 they expect it to die down. That is all fine and dandy until we get there around 11:30 they said they are seeing a 20 minute wait. 1pm rolls around and we finally get into a room to see a doctor... my 9 month old son has a nose that is horribly raw, two eyes with junk so thick that he can't even see because of how swollen his eyes are. Again you can guess what happened next, they don't prescribe any meds but tell us to take two over the counter medications. Luckily for us, his 9 month check up was this morning and the pediatrician was appalled by how horrible my son looked. Turns out, he has a double ear infection, double pink eye, and a sinus infection to top it off. That isn't even the best part of the story, the medications the urgent care urged us to give our son have the same ingredients that is a major cause for liver failure and we were double dosing him. Needless to say, stay away from these idiots. ...read more

Sunburn Prevention and When To Seek Treatment
As the temperatures have risen, it’s tempting to spend every day outdoors. After all, you’ve waited all winter long – now’s your chance to soak up the sun and have some summer fun. While it’s great to get outside and absorb all that healthy vitamin D, basking in those sunny rays isn’t free from negative consequences. Without the right protection, the sun can do a number on your skin. Itchy, sore, and hot-to-the-touch, sunburn is a dangerous part of the summer season. Sunburn Prevention & When To Seek Treatment Occasionally, severe sunburns require medical attention. Learn when it’s time to seek treatment for your sunburn. Caring for a Minor Sunburn Most of us are familiar with typical sunburn. It might include reddened and painful skin that lasts for a few days. Severe burns may blister and peel over the course of a week or so. You can usually manage sunburns at home with over-the-counter pain relievers, cool compresses, baths, and soothing skin ointment such as aloe vera. How do I tell if my sunburn is severe enough to need medical treatment Severe sunburn causes blisters over a large area. It may result in multiple small blisters or one large blister. If you are experiencing severe pain with headaches, vomiting, fever and/or dehydration, consider seeing an urgent care right away. These symptoms are similar to heat exposure or heat stroke and should be taken seriously. If your child blisters from a sunburn or experiences any of these symptoms, get medical help right away. In extreme situations, hospitalization may be necessary so that IV fluids (for dehydration) or pain-controlling medications can be administered. Risk Factors for Severe Sunburn Children younger than 6, particularly infants, and adults older than 60 are very sensitive to the sun’s rays. Some medications can increase your sensitivity to the sun. High altitudes and reflective surfaces (such as ice, sand, and water) can make you more susceptible to sunburn. Always wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater and apply it properly (15 minutes before going outside and every one-to-two hours after that.) It’s never a good idea to mix alcohol with outdoor activities. Alcohol impairs judgment and alters your perception of time, making you more apt to forget to reapply sunscreen.

Staying Hydrated In Hot Weather
It is important, especially in hot weather, that you drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids to avoid heat-related illness. The exact amount of water/ fluids you need is hard to determine, because of differing sizes of people, varying temperatures and humidity, and the amount of exertion you are undergoing. As a simple guideline, the more you are out in hot weather, the more frequently you need to drink. People exercising in extreme weather conditions can lose five liters of water through sweating. More sedentary folks will obviously lose/ need less, but still need to be aware of replacing fluids. Staying Hydrated in Hot Weather A good rule of thumb… Try to drink (in ounces) at least half of your body weight (in pounds.) For example, a person who weighs 140 lbs should drink 70 ounces of water. The hotter the weather and the more active the person, the need for water increases. Symptoms of dehydration are fatigue, difficulty concentrating, headaches, confusion, dizziness, and impaired mood. Mild cases can be relieved through oral hydration. Moderate cases may need intravenous fluids and supportive care at the emergency room. Severe dehydration (also known as “heat stroke”) can cause life-threatening problems that affect the brain, kidneys, and blood, and should be treated at the ER. Plan ahead for to drink more water and eat more fluid-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and yogurt to meet your increased need to stay hydrated in summer’s hot weather.

Poison Ivy And Summer Rashes
Whether hiking through Fontenelle Forest or working in your back yard, be aware of contact with the three-leafed plant that can cause an itchy rash- poison ivy. Poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac are three varieties of local plants that can cause these rashes when a person comes in contact with the oily resin (urushiol) found on the leaves and other parts of these plants. Over 80% of people have a rash-reaction to urushiol. Poison Ivy Symptoms Symptoms of poison ivy-oak-sumac include redness, swelling and itching of the skin on the area of contact with the plant. Small-to-large blisters will also occur, often in a streak or patch pattern where the urushiol touched the skin. Sometimes these blisters will ooze, but the fluid does not spread the rash. Poison ivy can take several days to several weeks to heal. Prevention Quick action can help prevent these rashes. If you know you have touched these plants, wash thoroughly with soapy water, as the urushiol is quickly absorbed into your skin. If the rash does develop, treatment includes the following: Apply cool compresses to the skin. Use topical treatments to relieve itching, including calamine lotion, oatmeal baths, Tecnu, Zanfel, or aluminum acetate. Oral antihistamines, such as Benadryl, can also help relieve itching. For a more severe rash, a health-care professional may prescribe a high-potency steroid cream or an oral corticosteroid. Over-the-counter medication may be necessary for pain control. Antibiotics may be prescribed if the rash becomes infected. Avoid scratching the rash to prevent the development of a bacterial infection. Go to the nearest emergency department or call an ambulance if experiencing an anaphylactic reaction (severe allergic reaction) characterized by difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, facial swelling, or if one has had a previous severe reaction to these plants. Also seek medical care if the rash involves the genitals or the face or if the rash shows signs of infection.
