A Reliable Ally Against the Flu for Those in Spring, TX

Close-up shot of sick young family--mom, dad, and preschool-age boy and girl--blowing noses with tissues together while lying in bedWhen you or your child has a fever, sore throat, stuffy or runny nose, and fatigue to the point that lying on the sofa all day seems like a challenge, you may be tempted to write it off as a case of the flu that your body must fight off on its own. However, there are several good reasons to seek medical treatment when you have flu symptoms. And if you’re in the Spring, Texas, area, you can get speedy flu testing and treatment by taking a short drive to Medella Urgent Care.

Our Vintage Park urgent care location near Spring treats walk-in patients of all ages for a wide variety of non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses, including the flu. We’re open during extended hours on weekdays, Saturday, and Sunday. You don’t need an appointment, but you’re welcome to book one using our online scheduling service.

Why Seek Urgent Care When You Have Flu Symptoms?

The illness that’s commonly referred to as “the flu” is a respiratory infection that’s caused by an influenza virus. Although most people recover from the flu within a few days, many patients develop serious flu complications requiring hospitalization. In recent years, the pharmaceutical industry has developed antiviral medications that—if taken within a few days of the onset of symptoms—can bring significant flu symptom relief and speed recovery. This is beneficial whether or not you’re susceptible to flu complications.

Another good reason to seek treatment is to make sure you have the flu and not some other type of infection that causes similar symptoms. At Medella Urgent Care, we have an on-site lab that allows our well-trained medical practitioners to offer immediate testing for flu, COVID-19, and several other sore throat and respiratory illnesses that could be mistaken for influenza. It’s important to confirm your flu diagnosis through testing because that’s the only way to get the personalized and effective treatment you need.

Flu Shots Also Available to Walk-In Patients

The best way to combat the flu is to get ahead of it, and Medella Urgent Care is pleased to offer flu shots to walk-in patients from the Spring area. Contact us today if you need more information.
