Flu activity is high in Illinois right now - and if you get sick, there are treatment options. 💊

Flu antivirals are prescription medicines that fight the flu virus. When started early (ideally within 48 hours of symptoms), they can:
✔️ Lessen how bad symptoms feel
✔️ Help you recover faster
✔️ Reduce the risk of serious complications

Flu symptoms can be more serious for older adults, young children, pregnant people, and those with certain health conditions. If that's you - or if symptoms feel severe - contact a healthcare provider as soon as possible.

🚫 Important reminder: Antibiotics do not treat the flu - they only work on bacterial infections.

💉 And while antivirals help treat flu, they’re not a substitute for the flu vaccine. Vaccination is still the best way to prevent flu and serious illness.

If you or your child start feeling flu symptoms, don’t wait - reach out to a healthcare provider to see if treatment is right for you.
