WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I GET SICK WITH FLU?

Most people with the flu have mild illness and do not need medical care or antiviral drugs.

If you get sick with flu symptoms, in most cases, you should stay home and avoid contact with other people except to get medical care.

If, however, you have symptoms of flu and are in a high risk group, or are very sick or worried about your illness, contact your health care provider OR COME AND SEE US HERE AT URGENT FAMILY CARE .

Dr. Harvey, Dr. Nadrous, Johnny Rivers, FNP-BC, Melissa Blair, FNP-BC and Brett Garvey, PA-C are here to take care of you and to provide you with “Quality Healthcare, When You Need It Most”.

Health care providers will determine whether influenza testing and treatment are needed. Your doctor may prescribe antiviral drugs that can treat the flu. These drugs work better for treatment the sooner they are started.
