The common cold and influenza are respiratory illnesses caused by viruses that spread easily from person to person.

Diagnosing & Treating Cold & Flu at AFC Livingston

When you visit the walk-in clinic with a suspected cold or flu, our medical providers will diagnose your illness based on your symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. In some cases, we may perform additional testing via our on-site labs. At AFC Urgent Care Livingston, testing is quick, accurate, and easy. We are dedicated to providing timely diagnoses to help patients get the appropriate treatment as soon as possible.

Although antibiotics aren’t effective at clearing viral infections like the common cold and flu, there are treatment options available to help aid your recovery. Our providers recommend the best supportive care treatment – from rest and hydration to over-the-counter medications to reduce congestion and fever. To avoid experiencing flu symptoms altogether, make sure to get your annual flu shot each year. Preventative care is essential for maintaining good health, and we recommend all patients to wash their hands frequently, practice good hygiene, and avoid close contact with others who may be sick to lower the risk of contracting a cold or flu.
