Viral infections are extremely contagious and can spread through direct contact, touching contaminated surfaces, or through airborne droplets. Because of this, it is important to be able to identify your symptoms early and know when to seek medical care to help prevent your illnesses from spreading to others.

Treatment for viral infections such as the cold and flu typically revolve around symptom management. Our clinic offers Tamiflu to patients diagnosed with the flu.

It is important to seek medical care if your symptoms are worsening over time or are severe.
