Common Cold Symptoms

Colds typically develop gradually and may include:

  • Runny or stuffy nose
  • Sneezing
  • Mild sore throat
  • Mild cough
  • Low-grade fever
  • Fatigue

While most colds improve within several days, symptoms can linger without proper care.

Flu Symptoms

The flu (influenza) often comes on suddenly and may be more severe than a common cold. Symptoms can include:

  • High fever
  • Body aches
  • Chills
  • Headache
  • Severe fatigue
  • Dry cough
  • Sore throat
  • Nausea or vomiting (more common in children)

If you are at higher risk — including seniors, young children, pregnant individuals, or those with chronic medical conditions — early evaluation is especially important.

Testing & Diagnosis

We offer in-office evaluation and may perform:

  • Rapid flu testing
  • COVID-19 testing (if appropriate)
  • Physical exam and symptom review

Accurate diagnosis helps ensure you receive the right treatment.

When to Seek Immediate Care

Seek medical attention promptly if you experience:

  • Difficulty breathing
  • Chest pain
  • Persistent high fever
  • Severe dehydration
  • Symptoms that worsen instead of improve

Our team is here to evaluate your symptoms and determine the appropriate level of care.
