What Is The Flu?
The flu, short for influenza, is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. These viruses primarily target the nose, throat, and lungs, leading to symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, and sometimes severe complications.
Influenza viruses are categorized into three main types: A, B, and C. While influenza C typically causes milder illness, it is influenza A and B that are responsible for the most common and widespread flu outbreaks in humans.

Urgent Care Cold & Flu FAQ
What’s the difference between a cold and the flu?
The flu typically comes on suddenly with severe symptoms like high fever, body aches, fatigue, and chills, while colds develop gradually and cause milder symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, and a sore throat. Flu symptoms can last longer and be more disruptive, whereas colds are usually less intense. If you're experiencing flu-like symptoms and need care, UrgiClinic Urgent Care in Bridgeview, IL offers walk-in urgent care services, including flu testing and treatment.
When should I see a doctor for cold or flu symptoms?
It's important to see a doctor if your flu or cold symptoms are severe, last longer than 10 days, or include difficulty breathing, chest pain, persistent high fever, or dehydration. High-risk individuals such as young children, the elderly, pregnant women, or those with chronic conditions should seek medical care sooner, as they are more vulnerable to complications. If you're experiencing these symptoms, UrgiClinic Urgent Care in Bridgeview, IL, offers walk-in urgent care services for prompt treatment without an appointment. Visit us at your convenience or contact us for more information.
Are there any medications to shorten the duration of the flu?
Antiviral medications can shorten the duration of the flu if taken within the first 48 hours of symptom onset by reducing the severity of symptoms and the length of illness. Early treatment is especially important for high-risk individuals, as it helps prevent complications. If you're experiencing flu symptoms and need treatment, UrgiClinic Urgent Care in Bridgeview, IL offers walk-in urgent care services, including flu testing and antiviral options. No appointment is needed, visit us at your convenience or contact us for more information. We're here to help you recover quickly.
