We’re seeing a lot of flu cases right now at ApproXie Urgent Care 🤧🤒

If you or your family are feeling:
• Fever 🌡️
• Body aches 💥
• Chills ❄️

👉 It could be the flu — and getting treated early matters.

💊 Flu Treatment Options We May Prescribe

There are two common flu medicines you might hear about:

🔹 Tamiflu
• Taken twice a day for 5 days
• Helps stop the flu from spreading in your body
• Safe for kids, adults, and many high-risk patients

🔹 Xofluza
• One single dose — that’s it!
• Works fast to stop the flu virus early
• Great option for many patients ages 5+

⏰ Both work best if started within the first 48 hours of symptoms — don’t wait it out!

💙 If you’re feeling sick, we’re here to help with:
✔️ Flu testing
✔️ Treatment plans
✔️ Symptom relief
✔️ Guidance on when to rest at home vs. seek care

🤧 Cold or Sinus Infection? Here’s How to Tell (and Treat!) 🤧

Not every stuffy nose is the same! Here’s a quick breakdown to help you know what you’re dealing with 👇

🦠 The Common Cold
• Caused by a virus
• Symptoms: runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, mild cough, low-grade fever
• Usually lasts 5–7 days

✅ How to treat a cold:
💧 Rest & hydrate
🤒 Over-the-counter cold meds (as needed)
🍯 Honey, warm fluids, and time
❌ Antibiotics do NOT help colds

🟢 Acute Sinusitis (Sinus Infection)
• Often starts after a cold
• Symptoms: facial pressure/pain 😖, thick yellow or green mucus, headache, tooth pain, congestion getting worse
• May start viral and cause secondary bacterial colonization

✅ How to treat sinusitis:
🌬️ Saline nasal spray or rinses
💊 Decongestants / anti-inflammatories
🔥 Warm compresses for facial pressure
👩‍⚕️ Antibiotics

🚨 When to get checked:
• Symptoms worsening
• Severe facial pain or swelling or tenderness

🕷️ What kind of spider bite is this?

📅 Day 1: Small red spot – looks harmless at first.
📅 Day 4: Dark purple center with spreading redness – most likely brown recluse bite.

⚠️ Why worry?

Starts painless ➡️ can turn into skin necrosis 🩸

Severe cases: fever 🤒, anemia 🧬, kidney problems 🚨

What to do:
🧼 Clean the wound
🏥 Seek medical care ASAP
