The flu (influenza) is a viral infection that can’t necessarily be cured—the virus must simply run its course, which may take a few days or up to two weeks. Still, there are steps you can take to ease symptoms, boost your immune system, and help your body fight off the infection more quickly.
It’s a smart idea to visit Affinity Urgent Care for treatment at the first sign of flu symptoms. When taken shortly after symptoms arise, a prescription antiviral medication (when clinically appropriate) can significantly reduce the severity and duration of your illness and have you feeling like yourself again sooner. Our experienced practitioners can also provide onsite flu testing to rule out other possible causes of your sickness (such as COVID-19 and the common cold) and provide medicine to help relieve symptoms like congestion, cough, and sore throat.
You’re not powerless in the fight against your flu! Visit Affinity Urgent Care in Galveston today to receive treatment for flu symptoms and accelerate your recovery. Our practice offers a convenient online check-in system and provides affordable self-pay rates.
