Know the Signs: Identifying Flu Symptoms Quickly

Flu and cold symptoms are similar, but flu symptoms are often more severe. Getting a flu test as soon as you start to notice signs of illness is key to faster recovery and reducing its spread.


Common flu symptoms include:

  • Sudden onset of symptoms

  • Severe body aches and fatigue

  • High fever with chills

  • Dry, painful cough

  • Headache

  • Runny or congested nose


If you notice any combination of the above symptoms, visit Corewell Health Urgent Care immediately for flu testing. With our fast, accurate diagnosis, you’ll be able to get treatment as soon as possible and reduce symptom severity.

The Benefits of Early Flu Testing and Treatment

While flu symptoms can range from mild to severe, getting a flu diagnosis quickly can help reduce the severity of your symptoms. Antiviral medications, such as Tamiflu® and Xofluza®, are most effective when started within 48 hours of symptom onset. These medications can:


  • Reduce the severity of symptoms

  • Shorten the duration of illness

  • Prevent complications like pneumonia or dehydration


At Corewell Health Urgent Care, we make treatment even more convenient with our on-site pharmacy, allowing you to receive antiviral medications during your visit. If preferred, prescriptions can also be sent to your chosen pharmacy. Early testing and treatment help you recover faster and feel better sooner.

Flu FAQs

What should I do to prepare for flu season?

Preventive care is the best way to prepare for the flu season. The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older receive a yearly flu vaccine. Most pharmacies and primary care offices can provide the flu vaccine upon request or appointment. Getting a seasonal flu shot early helps protect you and those around you throughout flu season.
