Influenza (the flu) shares symptoms that make it similar to the common cold but is a more severe viral illness. The flu is a highly contagious respiratory illness that affects the sinuses, throat, and lungs. Influenza A and B viruses are responsible for the seasonal outbreak of flu in the US each year.

Diagnosing the Flu

Diagnosing the flu can be done in as little as 15 minutes using “influenza diagnostics tests”. During the test, a medical professional from our urgent care will swab inside of your nose or the back of your throat to obtain a sample that will then be tested on-site. Unlike the common cold, symptoms of the influenza viruses include:

  • Sudden onset of illness
  • Fever (High temperature)
  • Chills
  • Sore throat
  • Stuffy or runny nose
  • Body aches and pains
  • Overly exhausted & tired
  • Vomiting or diarrhea (more common in children)
