frequently asked questions

FAQ’s About Flu or Cold Symptoms Treatment

What are the common symptoms of the flu and a cold, and how can I distinguish between them?

The flu and the common cold share overlapping symptoms, making it challenging to differentiate between the two without further evaluation. Both can cause coughing, congestion, sore throat, and fatigue. However, the flu tends to present with more severe symptoms, such as high fever, chills, body aches, and extreme tiredness. Cold symptoms are usually milder and develop gradually, while flu symptoms tend to appear suddenly. At Elon Health Urgent Care, our medical professionals utilize a detailed clinical assessment and, if necessary, diagnostic testing to accurately determine whether you have the flu or a cold.

When should I seek treatment for flu or cold symptoms at Elon Health Urgent Care?

For most mild cold or flu cases, over-the-counter remedies and rest are sufficient. However, you should seek treatment if you experience symptoms such as persistent high fever (over 102°F), difficulty breathing, chest pain, severe sore throat, confusion, or dehydration. Additionally, individuals with underlying health conditions, weakened immune systems, or those at high risk (e.g., young children, elderly adults, or pregnant women) should consult a healthcare provider promptly if they suspect the flu. We provide timely evaluation and treatment for these symptoms to prevent complications.

What treatment options are available for flu or cold symptoms at Elon Health Urgent Care?

Treatment for flu or cold symptoms focuses on symptom management and preventing complications. For colds, we typically recommend hydration, rest, and over-the-counter medications to alleviate congestion, headaches, or sore throat. For the flu, antiviral medications such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu) may be prescribed if treatment begins within 48 hours of symptom onset. These medications can shorten the duration of the illness and reduce the severity of symptoms. We customize treatment plans to meet each patient’s specific needs and underlying health conditions.

How does Elon Health Urgent Care diagnose flu or cold symptoms?

At Elon Health Urgent Care, we begin with a thorough medical history and physical examination to assess your symptoms. If necessary, we may utilize rapid diagnostic tests, such as a rapid influenza diagnostic test (RIDT), to confirm the presence of the flu virus. These tests provide results within minutes, allowing for swift and accurate treatment decisions. In cases where symptoms are ambiguous or there is a concern for complications, additional diagnostic tools, such as chest X-rays or lab tests, may be used to rule out other conditions like pneumonia or strep throat.

How can I prevent the flu or colds, and does Elon Health Urgent Care offer preventive services?

Preventing the flu and common cold involves maintaining good hygiene and supporting your immune system. Simple measures such as frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces can significantly reduce your risk of infection. Receiving an annual flu vaccine is also one of the most effective ways to prevent the flu. At Elon Health Urgent Care, we provide flu vaccinations as part of our preventive care services and offer personalized advice on maintaining your health during flu season.
