Rapid Diagnostics
If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, getting tested early is crucial. Antiviral medications (like Tamiflu) are most effective when started within the first 48 hours of symptom onset.
When to Get Tested
The flu shares symptoms with the common cold, but they tend to come on much more suddenly and severely. If you experience any of the following, consider getting tested:
Sudden fever or chills, muscle or body aches, extreme fatigue, headache, dry cough, sore throat, and a runny or stuffy nose.
