Influenza and the common cold share many of the same symptoms, but their severity differs significantly, and they are caused by different viruses. The best way to tell whether you have a cold or the flu is to quickly receive appropriate testing at East County Urgent Care and Walk-In Clinic. A prescription antiviral may be used to help flu patients recover more quickly but must be administered within the first 48 hours to be as effective as possible, so there is no time to waste when you start feeling sick. If you or a loved one are experiencing a cough, sore throat, congestion and a runny nose, fatigue, fever or chills, headache, or body aches, it is probably time for you to see an experienced physician who can help you begin the recovery process.
Unfortunately, for many people, patience is required when recovering from a cold or the flu. The most important things to remember are to get plenty of rest and stay hydrated. Tea and broth-based soups are especially helpful in not only maintaining hydration but relieving congestion and increasing the flow of mucus. Over-the-counter medications can also help reduce cough, fever, and congestion. At East County Urgent Care and Walk-In Clinic, we are available 7 days a week, so you can see a doctor as soon as possible. We are proud to serve families in the El Cajon area by providing the best diagnostic and treatment services available to adults and children of all ages.
