Telehealth for Sinus Infections, Colds & Sore Throats in Maryland

Can Respiratory Symptoms Be Evaluated by Video?

Many common non-emergency symptoms can initially be discussed through EZMED Telehealth, including cough, congestion, sinus symptoms and sore throat. Federal telehealth patient guidance also lists common sicknesses and infections among conditions that may be addressed virtually. The provider decides whether a video evaluation is sufficient or whether an in-person examination or testing is needed.

When Testing May Be Needed

A virtual visit cannot perform a throat swab, respiratory test, or other hands-on diagnostic procedure. If testing is clinically appropriate, patients can transition to EZMED Urgent Care in Timonium. This makes telehealth useful as a first step while preserving access to in-person care when necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can every medical problem be treated by telehealth?

No. The provider determines whether a virtual visit is clinically appropriate. Some symptoms require an in-person examination, testing, procedures, or emergency care.

What do I need for a video visit?

Use a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a reliable internet connection, camera and microphone. Choose a private, well-lit location and have your medication list and symptom history ready.

Can a telehealth visit lead to a prescription?

A provider may prescribe medication when clinically appropriate and legally permitted. A telehealth appointment does not guarantee a prescription, antibiotic, controlled medication, or refill.

Where must I be for EZMED telehealth?

EZMED's statewide virtual-care information is intended for eligible patients physically located in Maryland at the time of the visit.
