Don't Let the Flu Slow You Down: Symptoms, Testing, and Treatment at Urgent Care Center of Westmont

Flu season can hit hard and fast, leaving you feeling miserable. When those characteristic symptoms appear, knowing where to go for quick and effective care is crucial. At Urgent Care Center of Westmont, we are ready to evaluate, test, and treat the influenza virus, helping you get back on your feet faster.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Influenza (The Flu)

The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It differs from a common cold because the symptoms are typically more severe and appear abruptly. If you experience the following, it’s time to consider a visit to our center:

Sudden High Fever or Chills: A rapid onset of a fever, often over 100.4°F (38°C), is a hallmark of the flu.

Severe Muscle and Body Aches: Widespread discomfort and pain in the muscles and joints.

Persistent Cough: Often dry and hacking.

Sore Throat: Pain or irritation in the throat.

Intense Fatigue: Feeling exhausted and weak, which can last for days or weeks.

Headaches: Often significant and throbbing.

Nasal Congestion: Runny or stuffy nose (though less prominent than the cold).

Vomiting and Diarrhea: While more common in children, these can occasionally affect adults.

How Urgent Care Center of Westmont Can Help

If you suspect you have the flu, seeking care quickly is essential, especially within the first 48 hours of symptom onset, as this is the window for effective antiviral treatment.

1. Rapid Diagnosis and Testing
We offer timely, on-site flu testing. Our medical professionals can perform a quick nasal or throat swab to determine if you have the influenza virus. This fast diagnosis ensures we start the correct course of action immediately.

2. Antiviral Medication Prescriptions
For patients who test positive and meet specific criteria (especially those at high risk or within the 48-hour window), our providers can prescribe antiviral medications. These medications can help shorten the duration of the illness and reduce the risk of serious complications.

3. Symptom Management Guidance
For many, the best treatment involves managing symptoms. We will provide personalized recommendations for over-the-counter medications, rest, hydration, and when to return to normal activities.

4. Screening for Complications
The flu can sometimes lead to secondary infections like bacterial pneumonia or ear infections. Our team can evaluate your overall health, listen to your lungs, and screen for signs of complications, ensuring you receive comprehensive care.

When to Visit Us

Don't wait! If you experience flu-like symptoms, especially if you have a chronic health condition, are pregnant, or are 65 or older, visit the Urgent Care Center of Westmont today. We offer walk-in care with minimal wait times, providing a convenient alternative to the emergency room for non-life-threatening illnesses.

We are here to help you feel better, faster.

PSA: “Sugar feeds cancer” is misleading.
Here’s the calm, science-backed scoop:

All cells use sugar. Your body (and brain) need glucose—if you cut carbs, your body makes it anyway.
You can’t starve cancer with diet. Extreme restriction hurts you, not the tumor.
Target added sugar, not fruit/grains. Skip sodas, candy, sugary coffee drinks. Keep fruit, veggies, whole grains, beans, nuts.

Fuel for treatment →
Plate it simple: ½ veggies/fruit • ¼ protein • ¼ whole grains + healthy fats + water.
Aim for enough calories and protein to keep strength up.
Bad day? Eat what you can, then get back on track.
For personal guidance, see an oncology dietitian.

Bottom line: Limit added sugar. Keep real foods. Fuel, don’t fear.
