Cough, Bronchitis & Pneumonia Testing & Treatment

If you’re searching for cough treatment near me, or need quick care for bronchitis or pneumonia, Emcura Immediate Care is here to help. Our urgent care providers evaluate coughs of all types — from lingering viral bronchitis to bacterial pneumonia — and offer same-day testing, chest X-rays, and effective treatment options.

Common causes of cough

  • Viral bronchitis: Often develops after a cold or flu, with persistent cough lasting 1–3 weeks. Usually doesn’t require antibiotics.
  • Bacterial bronchitis or pneumonia: More likely to cause fever, chest tightness, or worsening symptoms. Antibiotics may be needed.
  • Asthma, allergies, or post-nasal drip: Non-infectious causes that can still trigger chronic cough.

How Emcura Immediate Care tests for cough and pneumonia

Our team performs a physical exam and may order on-site chest X-rays or lab work. We also provide COVID-19, flu, and RSV testing, since these illnesses can cause similar symptoms. Results are fast and accurate, allowing us to start treatment right away.

Treatment options at Emcura Immediate Care

  • Symptom relief: Nebulizers, inhalers, cough suppressants, and supportive medications.
  • Antibiotics: Prescribed for bacterial pneumonia or suspected bacterial bronchitis.
  • Advanced care: IV fluids, steroids, or oxygen therapy available for severe cases. Referral to a hospital if higher-level care is needed.
