Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a doctor for the flu?
Seek medical attention if you have difficulty breathing, chest pain, confusion, severe dehydration, or if your fever lasts more than 3-4 days.
Do antibiotics work for colds or the flu?
No, colds and the flu are caused by viruses, so antibiotics (which kill bacteria) are not effective. We prescribe antivirals if caught early, or focus on symptom management.
Can I get a flu shot if I'm already sick?
It's best to wait until you have recovered from a moderate to severe illness before getting your flu shot. We can administer it once you are well.
