We care about our patients

Preventing flu is always important, but in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary that everyone in the community implements all preventative measures possible to reduce illness and preserve scarce health care resources.

What are the symptoms of the flu?

Fever
Cough

Headache
shortness of breath

Muscle aches
runny nose

Keep these treatments in mind if you have the flu

Pain relievers

Analgesics like acetaminophen and ibuprofen are often recommended to help ease symptoms

Decongestants

This type of medication can help relieve nasal congestion and pressure in your sinuses and ears. Each type of decongestant can cause some side effects, so be sure to read labels to find the one that’s best for you.

Expectorants

This type of medication helps loosen thick sinus secretions that make your head feel clogged and cause coughing.

Cough suppressants

Coughing is a common flu symptom, and some medications can help relieve it. If you don’t want to take medication, some cough drops use honey and lemon to ease a sore throat and cough.

Efficient ways to avoid and prevent spreading a flu

injectable shot
high-dose injectable shot (for those over age 65)

intradermal shot
nasal spray

antiviral drugs

That’s because of the similarity between flu symptoms and COVID-19 symptoms. Fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, headache, body aches, sore throat, extreme fatigue, and diarrhea could be flu or could be COVID-19. Med-Ped Health Care, LLC’s medical providers will examine you and diagnose the sickness and also provide a prescription.
