Wound Care, Nebulizer Treatments & More
What to Expect from Our In-Office Procedures
At Medical Associates of Brownsville, we offer a range of in-office treatments designed to address common medical needs quickly and effectively. Here is a closer look at what we provide:
Nebulizer Treatments
A nebulizer is a small device that converts liquid medication into a fine mist that you breathe in through a mask or mouthpiece. Nebulizer treatments are commonly used for asthma and other respiratory conditions to deliver medication directly to the lungs, where it can work quickly to open airways and reduce inflammation. An asthma nebulizer treatment can provide faster relief than an inhaler in some situations, especially during a flare-up or when symptoms are more severe.
If you've been experiencing wheezing, shortness of breath, or chest tightness, talk to Dr. Guevara about whether breathing treatment for asthma or another respiratory condition is right for you.
Ear Irrigation
Ear irrigation is a safe, effective procedure used to remove excess earwax buildup from the ear canal. When earwax accumulates, it can cause discomfort, muffled hearing, ringing in the ears, or a feeling of fullness. During the procedure, a gentle stream of water or saline solution is used to flush out the blockage. Professional ear wax removal is a much safer option than attempting to remove earwax at home with cotton swabs, which can push the wax deeper and cause damage to the ear canal.
Treatment for Cuts, Wounds, Burns, and More
Minor injuries happen, and getting prompt, proper care makes a real difference in how well they heal. At Medical Associates of Brownsville, we provide wound cleaning and dressing, laceration treatment, and care for minor burns. Dr. Guevara has additional expertise in wound care, so you can feel confident that your injury is being handled by someone with real experience in this area.
Proper wound care treatment helps prevent infection, reduces scarring, and supports faster healing. Whether you have a cut that may need to be closed, a burn that needs evaluation, or a wound that isn't healing as expected, our team is here to help.
