It’s that time of year, isn’t it? You know, the one where everyone seems to come down with the same massive sickness that slows you down and keeps you at home on the couch. Nearly everyone will end up dealing with a cold or flu at some point this year, and with many people who are already being affected, it begs the question–”when should I see a doctor for this?”
Whether you got it from your children who got it from someone at school or it’s just going around the office like a plague, there’s a good chance that you’ll experience at least some of the symptoms of this seasonal sickness.
The Doctor You Can Count On
We’ve all experienced the symptoms before–sore throat, sneezing, aches and pains–and they’re not pleasant. At some point or another you’re likely to ask yourself if what you’re experiencing is cause enough to go visit a doctor. In today’s blog, we have a couple of tips for you.
Monitor Your Cough
A good deal of coughing during your illness is going to happen no matter what, but if you just can’t seem to shake it after more than a couple of weeks, it’s time to give the doctor’s office a call.
Keep Track of Congestion
Whether it’s a cold or the flu, you’re going to have a stuffy nose. The last thing you want is to end up with a sinus infection, so if you’re congested and can’t seem to get any relief, visit a doctor.
Treat Your Temperature
Regardless of whether it’s the common cold or a pesky flu, your temperature will probably fluctuate between hot and cold quite a bit, but if you have a fever that just won’t break, visit urgent care.
How is Your Throat?
If you’ve been coughing a great deal, you’ll have a sore throat no matter what, but if you’re in pain instead of discomfort, schedule a visit right away.
