Combatting Flu Season!

Influenza is an infection of the mouth, nose, and throat (respiratory tract) caused by a virus.
The flu can make you feel very ill/more symptomatic and duration of illness will last longer and you can be more ill than a common cold: 7-10 days (which is longer than a typical viral illness which is 3-5 days).
Influenza usually spreads easily from person to person.
In smokers, asthmatics, COPD, lung disease or in someone with underlying medical problems, influenza can cause the following complications-pneumonia (MRSA pneumonica), sepsis, or respiratory failure, so please monitor your symptoms. Consider smoking cessation or cut down. If you need help, please call 1800QUITNOW

Treatment for influenza is aimed at supportive therapy-rest 3-4 days, fluid hydration, Tylenol/ibuprofen for fever/body ache/muscle pain/sore throat.
With fever and body ache, for children-can take Ibuprofen/Tylenol (10mg/kg based on body weight is appropriate) over the counter every 6 hours as needed for ear pain. Can alternate between Ibuprofen, then 3 hours later, do Tylenol to help control body ache/fever. For adults, Ibuprofen 600mg/tylenol 650mg to 1000mg every 6 hours. Alternate as above

If your symptoms onset within 48 hours, your doctor can prescribe Xofluza orTamiflu to help reduce duration of symptoms (stop viruses from making more copies/reproducing and thus cut down flu symptoms by about 2 days). Wash hands frequently as flu is contagious. Stay home from work or school until your fever has been gone for at least 1 full day without taking any fever medication

Get a yearly flu shot!

RSV season!
RSV is a common childhood viral illness and one of the most frequent reasons infants are admitted to the hospital. It is often the cause of a respiratory condition called bronchiolitis (a viral infection of the small airways of the lungs).

RSV infection usually occurs within the first 3 years of life, but can occur at any age. Infections are most commonly between the month of November through April but can also happen during any time of the year.
Children less than 2 years of age, especially premature infants, children born with heart or lung disease, or other chronic medical problems, are most at risk for severe breathing problems from RSV infection. The RSV virus is highly contagious and a person can be re-infected with RSV even if they have had the infection in the past. RSV can infection both adults and children, especially infants.

Symptoms to watch for-wheezing (whistling noise when breathing), frequent coughing, difficulty breathing, runny nose (RSV live and replicate in the nose), fever, decrease appetite or activity.

Treatment for RSV is aimed at supportive therapy-without the use of antibiotic, breathing treatments to help with wheezing/open up airways. Frequent bulb suctioning using using a bulb syringe to suck out the nasal secretion and help clear congestion-needs to be as often as once every hour and especially before feeding. Monitor child’s breathing, if child breaths >55 breaths per minutes-do not try to feed as child can aspirate and cause lung infection. Nasal saline drops to help thin out the secretion and make easier for bulb suctioning. Cool mist vaporizers may help loosen secretion as well. Universal hand hygiene is recommended.

Children with RSV should remain home and not return to school or day care until symptoms have improved
If your child develop fever (younger than 3 months of age), grunting noises, retractions (ribs appear to stick out with breathing), nasal flaring (nostril moving in and out with breathing), difficulty feeding with vomiting, decrease in urine output (4-8 wet diapers, 0-1 stool diaper). If your child appears blue in color, pauses in breathing-your child needs to be seen in the ER immediately.

At First Point Urgent Care, we perform RSV, Influenza A/B, COVID 19 by PCR test which is the gold standard with results in 45 minutes. We also offer the respiratory panel test which tests for 36 different viruses/bacteria, giving you the diagnosis and start on definitive treatment sooner. We open 7 days a week and accept walk-ins

Tips for the flu:
1. Stay home and isolate to prevent spreading the flu
2. Stay hydrated with plenty of water/fluid
3. Take Tylenol for fever and aches
4. Stick to plain foods that are easy on your stomach
5. Rest at home until you are fever free for 24 hours without any Tylenol or Advil (fever reducing medications)
