Flu Treatment at AFC Urgent Care in the Philadelphia area

When flu season hits, fast, reliable care matters. At AFC Urgent Care centers in the Philadelphia area, our medical team provides walk‑in flu testing, same‑day treatment options, and personalized guidance to help you recover quickly. If you’re experiencing fever, cough, congestion, or fatigue, we’re here seven days a week with on‑site diagnostics and immediate care.

Because flu symptoms often overlap with strep throat, the common cold, and even allergies, early testing is essential. Many patients come in with fever, chills, body aches, sore throat, or nausea — all common signs of influenza — and our rapid testing helps determine the right treatment fast.

Common Flu Symptoms

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, visit AFC Urgent Care near you for flu testing:

• Fever of 100°F or higher (or feeling feverish)
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Headaches
• Body aches or chills
• Fatigue
• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea (more common in children)

Because these symptoms can mimic other illnesses, testing is the only way to know for sure.
