COLD & FLU

A cold is a viral infection affecting the upper respiratory system. Common signs include a runny nose, congestion, sneezing, coughing, and a sore throat. In contrast, the flu can result in more severe symptoms such as fever, chills, fatigue, body aches, coughing, and congestion. We may advise rest, hydration, and the use of over-the-counter drugs like antivirals and decongestants if you get a cold or the flu.

FEVER

A fever indicates that your body is fighting an infection. Typically, a normal body temperature is around 98.6°F (37°C). If your body temperature is above this, it is considered a fever when it measures at 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. Different types of fevers have specific symptoms and treatments. The most common type of fever is brought on by an infection, such as the flu or a cold. We can help alleviate your symptoms and assist with recovery if you happen to experience a fever.

SORE THROAT

A sore throat can feel uncomfortable because of various reasons. It might be because of allergies, viruses, or bacteria. To treat a sore throat, the cause needs to be determined first. If it is due to a viral infection, there is no definite solution. Nevertheless, the symptoms can be eased using home remedies or over-the-counter medication, such as gargling warm salt water and taking ibuprofen.

SEASONAL ALLERGY

If you have seasonal allergies, we can assist in identifying what’s causing them and suggesting a course of action. We can suggest over-the-counter and prescription medicines to treat your symptoms, as well as offer tips on how to avoid common allergens. Allergy shots may also be recommended in certain circumstances to aid in the development of tolerance to the allergens.
