Speedy Flu Testing & Treatment Available to Those From Tomball, TX
The next best thing to preventing a flu infection is getting tested and treated as soon as you begin experiencing flu symptoms. Why? Because there are prescription antiviral medications available for treating the flu, but they’re most effective when taken within the first few days of becoming ill. Getting this flu treatment can be challenging for many people who can’t get a short-notice appointment at their primary care clinic or don’t want to sit for hours in a crowded emergency room, waiting to see a doctor.
Fortunately for infants, children, and adults in the Tomball, Texas, area, Medella Urgent Care has a walk-in clinic in nearby Vintage Park. We’re open during extended hours every day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday, and we’re fully equipped to provide flu testing and treatment on demand. Our wait times are short, but you may take advantage of our online booking service to reserve a time for your visit if you wish.
Flu Testing Is Step One Toward Your Recovery
Many people are familiar with flu symptoms that typically include a sore throat, fever, body aches and chills, and a runny or stuffy nose. When you start to feel these symptoms, you may be convinced that you’re dealing with the flu. However, other types of infection can cause flu-like symptoms, and the most effective treatment for any viral or bacterial illness you contract will depend on getting an accurate diagnosis.
That’s why Medella Urgent Care has an on-site lab that’s equipped to provide testing for:
- Influenza viruses A and B
- COVID-19
- Strep throat
- Mononucleosis
- Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
Using the results of our lab tests and our discussions with you about your symptoms, our well-qualified medical practitioners will provide you with an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan to get you back on your feet as soon as possible.
Flu Shots Also Available
Even better than having reliable flu testing and treatment so close to your home or office in the Tomball area is the ability to get a flu shot whenever it’s convenient for you. You can turn to Medella Urgent Care for flu vaccinations any day of the week with no appointment required. Contact us today if you need more information.
