Understanding Influenza (The Flu)

The flu (influenza) is a highly contagious virus that can cause mild to severe respiratory illness. Unlike the common cold, flu symptoms often appear suddenly and can lead to serious complications. The flu virus is different from a cold and usually comes on very suddenly.

Common Flu Symptoms We Treat

If you suspect you have the flu, it's important to seek medical attention. Our medical providers are here to diagnose and treat common flu symptoms, which can include:

• Fever or chills (not everyone will have a fever)
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Muscle or body aches
• Headaches
• Fatigue/tiredness
• Vomiting and diarrhea (more common in children than adults)

How Much Does It Cost?

Flu testing at AFC Urgent Care is available for a self-pay rate of $45. We strive to provide affordable care and accept most major insurance plans.

Effective Flu Treatment

Once you have your rapid flu test results, our medical providers can prescribe medications that may help prevent flu complications or shorten the severity and duration of the flu. If your test results come back negative but you're still experiencing flu-like symptoms, our team can help you find an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment plan, including calling in prescriptions and providing recommendations.

Preventive Measures & Staying Healthy

If you're sick or around someone who is, practicing good hygiene is crucial to prevent the spread of the flu.

• Wash your hands frequently and consistently.
• Avoid touching your face (eyes, mouth, nose) until you wash your hands.
• Wear a mask in public and high transmission areas if you are sick.
• Avoid public areas if you’re sick from any illness.
• Frequently sanitize surfaces at work or home.
