Urgent Care for Asthma Treatment in Katy, TX

If you have asthma, it’s important to know when your symptoms require immediate medical attention beyond your regular treatment plan. Our skilled team is here to help when your asthma symptoms aren’t improving with your rescue inhaler or prescribed medications, or if you notice that your symptoms are more severe than usual.

Consider visiting Memorial Health Urgent Care and Infusions if you experience:

• Persistent shortness of breath, wheezing, or coughing that interferes with speaking, eating, or daily activities
• Chest tightness or difficulty catching your breath, even after using your inhaler as directed
• The need to use your quick-relief inhaler more frequently than every four hours
• Peak flow readings (if you use a peak flow meter) in your caution or danger zone
• Asthma symptoms that wake you up at night and don’t improve quickly with medication

Other warning signs that require urgent care include bluish or gray coloring around your lips or fingers, or trouble walking or talking due to shortness of breath. At Memorial Health Urgent Care and Infusions, we are equipped to handle moderate asthma attacks and can provide treatments such as nebulizer therapy, oxygen, or corticosteroids to help you breathe easier.

If you’ve run out of your asthma inhaler, our team is here to help. Our urgent care clinic is fully equipped to handle non-life-threatening asthma concerns, including mild to moderate asthma symptoms and medication refills. When you visit Memorial Health Urgent Care and Infusions, our experienced healthcare providers will evaluate your current symptoms and review your medical history to determine the best course of action.

If you’re not experiencing severe shortness of breath, chest tightness, or other signs of a life-threatening asthma attack, our team can typically write a new prescription for your inhaler. We may also perform a lung function assessment and ensure you have the appropriate medication and dosage to manage your asthma effectively.

However, if you are experiencing severe difficulty breathing, persistent wheezing that does not respond to your usual treatments, bluish lips or face, or difficulty speaking in full sentences, you should seek emergency care immediately by calling 911 or going to the nearest emergency room. While Memorial Health Urgent Care and Infusions is prepared to address most asthma concerns, we are not equipped for severe asthma attacks that require advanced airway support or intravenous medications.

For most non-emergency situations—such as needing a quick prescription refill for your inhaler—our urgent care clinic offers a safe and convenient solution, especially when your primary care provider is unavailable. After your visit, we recommend following up with your regular doctor to discuss your asthma management and ensure you never run out of your medication in the future.

At Memorial Health Urgent Care and Infusions, we are fully equipped to manage mild to moderate asthma attacks quickly and safely. When you arrive at our clinic with symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or persistent cough, our dedicated medical team initiates a rapid assessment—including checking your vital signs and oxygen levels—to determine the severity of your condition.

Our experienced providers use a stethoscope to listen carefully to your lungs, evaluating airflow and detecting any abnormal sounds like wheezing. To relieve acute asthma symptoms, we commonly administer quick-relief medications such as albuterol, delivered either with a nebulizer or an inhaler and spacer. These treatments act fast to open your airways and restore comfortable breathing. For more severe attacks, we may repeat these treatments or administer oral or injectable corticosteroids to further reduce airway inflammation and help prevent future flare-ups.

Throughout your visit, our team closely monitors your progress, ensuring improvements in breathing, reduction of wheezing, and normalization of oxygen saturation. If your symptoms do not improve as expected, or if you show signs of severe respiratory distress, we will promptly coordinate transfer to a nearby emergency department for advanced care.

At Memorial Health Urgent Care and Infusions, your respiratory health is our priority. If you or a loved one is living with asthma, it’s important to recognize the warning signs that your symptoms may be getting worse. Early intervention can help prevent serious complications and keep you breathing easier.

Some key warning signs include:

• Increased shortness of breath: You may find it harder to breathe, even during routine activities.
• Frequent coughing: Especially at night or early in the morning, coughing may become more persistent.
• Wheezing: You might notice a whistling or squeaky sound when breathing, which can become louder or more frequent.
• Greater reliance on your inhaler: If you need your quick-relief inhaler (like albuterol) more often, or if it’s less effective than usual, this is a sign your asthma may be out of control.
• Chest tightness: You may feel pressure or heaviness in your chest, and sometimes even anxiety or restlessness due to trouble breathing.
• Decreased peak flow readings: If you use a peak flow meter and notice numbers are lower than your personal best, or drop into the yellow or red zone, it’s time to take action.
• Sleep disturbances: Waking up at night feeling short of breath or having trouble sleeping due to your symptoms.

At Memorial Health Urgent Care & Infusions, our experienced urgent care team is committed to providing rapid, effective relief for asthma symptoms and flare‑ups. Although our clinic website emphasizes that we treat a wide range of illnesses including respiratory infections and urgent conditions, our approach to asthma care remains rooted in timely assessment, appropriate medication administration, and patient education. On your visit, we’ll review your history, evaluate current symptoms, and initiate immediate care—such as bronchodilators or corticosteroids as needed. You’ll leave with clear guidance for follow‑up, triggers to watch out for, and steps to avoid future exacerbations. With us, asthma treatment is fast, accessible, and tailored to your needs.
