There are many benefits to seeing a doctor for cold and flu symptoms, the first being your overall health, which is our top priority at Restore Health Urgent Care. We can make sure nothing more serious is going on, recommend or administer treatment, and help you get on the road to feeling better as soon as possible. In addition to prioritizing your health, seeing a doctor for cold and flu symptoms has become especially important in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, it was normal to continue on with your daily life activities after contracting the cold or flu, in some cases at the expense of your own health and the health of others, by spreading the virus and getting others sick. Like COVID-19, the common cold and flu are typically very contagious, and if symptoms are not addressed and taken seriously, it can have harmful consequences. Also, as mentioned above, many cold and flu symptoms overlap with COVID-19 symptoms, such as a sore throat, runny nose, cough, muscle aches, chills, fever, and so on. At Restore Health Urgent Care, we can offer testing to determine if you have COVID-19, which is a crucial part of managing and mitigating this pandemic. Additionally, sometimes cold and flu symptoms can indicate an underlying health concern. Symptoms that can easily be brushed off, such as fatigue or sore muscles, can sometimes indicate a more serious health issue. By seeing one of our providers, you can discuss your symptoms in detail, and one of our team members can flag anything that seems abnormal or may need further testing.
