Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
UrgentCare2Go
What are the most common symptoms of an ankle infection?
Symptoms may include redness, swelling, warmth, pain, tenderness, drainage, fever, or difficulty bearing weight. If symptoms worsen quickly, prompt evaluation is important.
How do I know if my ankle infection is serious?
Severe pain, spreading redness, fever, inability to walk, or rapid swelling may indicate cellulitis, abscess, or joint infection. These require medical assessment as soon as possible.
Can you evaluate ankle infections at home?
Yes. Our mobile team can assess the ankle, provide early treatment recommendations, and determine whether antibiotics, wound care, or additional diagnostics are needed.
Do ankle infections require antibiotics?
Many do, depending on cause and severity. Your provider will determine whether oral or IV antibiotics, wound care, or drainage is appropriate.
Can an untreated ankle infection become dangerous?
Yes. Untreated infections can spread to deeper tissues, joints, or bone. Early evaluation helps prevent complications and supports faster recovery.
What causes ankle infections?
Common causes include small cuts, insect bites, blisters, sprains with skin irritation, surgical wounds, or underlying skin conditions that allow bacteria to enter.
Is imaging ever needed for an ankle infection?
Your provider may recommend ultrasound or X-ray if there is concern for abscess, joint involvement, foreign body, or complications related to injury.
How quickly can mobile urgent care arrive?
Arrival times vary by region, but most patients are seen the same day. Mobile care offers a convenient alternative to sitting in urgent care or the ER.
Do you accept insurance for ankle infection evaluations?
Yes — we work with most major insurance plans. Coverage depends on your policy and visit type.
Can an ankle infection be diagnosed through telehealth?
A virtual consultation can help determine whether symptoms appear infectious and whether an in-person visit is required. Physical examination is often needed for confirmation.
How long does recovery from an ankle infection take?
Mild infections improve within a few days of treatment. More severe cases may take 1–2 weeks or longer depending on severity, wound care needs, and overall health.
Is my visit private and HIPAA-compliant?
Yes. All in-home, in-clinic, and telehealth services follow full HIPAA privacy and security standards to protect your medical information.
Can children or older adults be evaluated for ankle infections?
Yes — evaluations are available for patients of all ages, including children, adults, and seniors with mobility challenges.
When should I go to urgent care or the ER for an ankle infection?
Seek urgent care if symptoms worsen quickly, the pain is severe, you cannot walk, or you develop fever or spreading redness. Emergency care may be needed for rapidly progressing infections.
