Diagnosing & Treating Cold & Flu at AFC Clark

When you visit AFC Urgent Care Clark with a suspected illness, one of our providers will begin by providing you with an accurate diagnosis of your symptoms. Your provider will examine your condition through a discussion of your medical history and physical exam.

While there is no specific cure for colds or flu, supportive care is effective at helping you manage and alleviate your symptoms. This could include getting plenty of rest, drinking fluids, and taking over-the-counter medications to reduce congestion and fever.
