The flu refers to a notoriously contagious type of viral respiratory illness that spreads from the lower and upper respiratory tract. If left untreated, the flu can cause severe side effects and infect those around you.
The flu can be divided into five separate types, each one with its own set of side effects and spreading ability. Cermak Immediate Care helps you treat symptoms related to flu that travels from animal to human and from human to human.
The five different types of flu include:

Generally speaking, common symptoms of the flu include, but are not limited to:
If you’re exhibiting symptoms of the flu, it’s important that you contact Cermak Immediate Care without delay to avoid spreading the illness to others and to prevent serious complications.
The best treatment for the flu is preventive. At Cermak Immediate Care, the team offers year-round flu shots to protect you from the virus. You should do this every year to ensure immunization.
If you haven’t gotten a flu shot and are now suffering from influenza, the team at Cermak Immediate Care recommends antiviral medication, such as Tamiflu® or Relenza®, or painkillers to help muscle-related symptoms.
If you do have the flu, it’s essential that you stay indoors and avoid contact with others. The team at Cermak Immediate Care also recommends that you drink plenty of water and get as much rest as you can so that the medication can take effect.
Having the flu is a serious condition. Contact the team at Cermak Immediate Care by phone, request an appointment online, or simply walk into the nearest office today.
