Cold weather and holiday gatherings can lead to a surge in seasonal illnesses. Here are some of the most common conditions we treat at HB Urgent Care during December:
🤧 1. Colds & Upper Respiratory Infections
Runny nose, cough, sore throat — very common this time of year.
🦠 2. Influenza (Flu)
Peak season hits around December. Fever, chills, fatigue, body aches.
😮💨 3. RSV
Affects children and older adults most. Watch for wheezing or breathing difficulties.
🫁 4. Bronchitis
Often starts as a cold and develops into a deeper cough.
👃 5. Sinus Infections
Facial pressure, congestion, and headaches are common complaints.
🧷 6. Strep Throat

🤢 7. Stomach Bugs (Viral Gastroenteritis)
Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea often spread quickly during holiday gatherings.
