Breathing should never feel like a struggle, and allergies shouldn’t keep you from enjoying your day. At Urgent Care Plus & Wellness, we understand how disruptive respiratory symptoms and allergic reactions can be–especially in the ever-changing Texas climate. If you’re dealing with shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, or seasonal allergy flare-ups, we’re here to help.
Our walk-in clinic serves individuals and families from Richmond, Katy, Aliana, and nearby West Houston areas, offering immediate attention for mild to moderate asthma exacerbations and allergy symptoms. Under the care of Dr. Luke Afuwape, a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician with over 15 years of experience, you’ll get fast answers, effective relief, and expert guidance–all in one visit.
I went here during work hours, got in and out fast enough to return to work. The doctor was very well educated, made sure to run some extra tests to make sure all was well(which was something i’ve been worried about for awhile now) in addition to getting meds for my current situation.
What We Treat
Asthma and allergy symptoms can overlap, but we treat both based on the root cause and severity. At Urgent Care Plus & Wellness, we commonly see:
- Mild to moderate asthma exacerbations, often triggered by infections, allergens, cold air, or missed medications
- Seasonal or environmental allergies, including reactions to pollen, pet dander, mold, and dust
- Post-viral asthma flare-ups, especially following respiratory infections
- Exercise-induced bronchospasm and reactive airway issues
- Sinus congestion, post-nasal drip, or allergic rhinitis
- Itchy, watery eyes and sneezing caused by airborne allergens
- Contact dermatitis and other mild allergic skin reactions
Focus on Asthma Flare-Ups
If you’re experiencing an asthma exacerbation, you might notice increased wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, or a persistent dry cough. These symptoms can develop suddenly and worsen if left untreated. At Urgent Care Plus & Wellness, we provide:
- Rapid breathing treatments (nebulized albuterol) to relax airways
- Inhaled or oral corticosteroids to reduce airway inflammation
- Oxygen support and pulse oximetry monitoring for borderline cases
- Prescription refills for maintenance or rescue inhalers
- Trigger identification and prevention counseling
- Education on proper inhaler technique and long-term asthma control
We’re equipped to treat mild to moderate asthma attacks safely in the clinic. If your symptoms are more severe (e.g., bluish lips, confusion, or extreme difficulty breathing), we’ll stabilize you and arrange safe transfer to a higher level of care if needed.
Allergy Diagnosis & Symptom Management
In addition to asthma support, we offer fast relief for a variety of allergy symptoms–whether triggered by pollen, pets, food, or contact irritants. Dr. Luke will examine your sinuses, eyes, throat, and lungs, and recommend:
- Antihistamines, decongestants, or intranasal corticosteroids
- Steroid injections for severe seasonal allergy flares
- Eye drops or creams for localized reactions
- Allergy avoidance tips based on likely environmental triggers
- Referrals for allergy testing if symptoms are persistent
