Is it a cold or is it the flu? With overlapping symptoms, it can be hard to tell without proper testing!

As respiratory illnesses continue to be on the rise, we wanted to share a reminder of some of the symptoms to take note of.

Back in December, OCH's Dr. Cullum shared some helpful information on the topic: "Quick and precise diagnosis is essential. This can allow for appropriate treatment, in turn leading to earlier resolution in symptoms, prevention of progression of disease and decrease rate of transmission."

So when should you see a provider?
If you have an emergency warning sign, like trouble breathing or chest pain, you should seek emergency medical care immediately. The OCH Emergency Room in Gravette, AR is open 24/7 with no wait time or call 911 for assistance.

If you are experiencing symptoms of flu or fall into a higher-risk category, schedule an appointment with your provider today!

Hands should be washed often, especially after using the restroom, when handling food, and before touching your face. Remember to use soap and wash for at least 20 seconds or the length of Happy Birthday!
