The treatments for the Flu and COVID-19

Understanding the Differences Between COVID-19 and the Flu
Julia Murphy Callahan, APRN, FNP, ExperCARE Hinesville

Here’s why it matters
Different Treatments: The treatments for the flu and COVID-19 differ. Antiviral medications like oseltamivir (Tamiflu) are available for the flu, while COVID-19 may require specific treatments like monoclonal antibodies or antiviral medications like remdesivir in more severe cases. Early diagnosis ensures timely initiation of the appropriate treatment.

Isolation and Contact Tracing: Early diagnosis allows for quick isolation of the infected individual and contact tracing to prevent further spread of the virus. This is crucial in controlling the spread of COVID-19.

Peace of Mind: Knowing whether you have the flu or COVID-19 can provide peace of mind and reduce anxiety about your health and potential exposure to others.

Choosing Urgent Care Over the ER: During flu season, healthcare facilities can become crowded, increasing the risk of exposure to illnesses. Here’s why you might consider visiting an urgent care facility like Expercare instead of a heavily populated ER:

Lower Wait Times: Urgent care centers typically have shorter wait times than emergency rooms, allowing you to receive care more quickly.

Reduced Exposure: Urgent care centers are often less crowded than ERs, which can help minimize your risk of exposure to infectious diseases.

Expertise: Expercare’s experienced staff are well-trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of illnesses, including the flu and COVID-19, providing you with the care you need.

Community Focus: As a community urgent care provider, Expercare has a vested interest in the well-being of the local community. They can offer insights into the prevalence of flu and COVID-19 in the area, helping you stay informed.

Conclusion:
Navigating flu season in South Georgia requires a keen understanding of the differences between COVID-19 and the flu. Quick and accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment and reducing the risk of transmission. Expercare, with its experienced staff and community focus, can provide you with the care you need while minimizing exposure.

Whether you’re experiencing flu-like symptoms or are concerned about COVID-19, seeking care at an urgent care facility like Expercare is a smart choice during these uncertain times.

Stay informed, stay safe, and prioritize your health and the health of your community this flu season.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We’re sharing information on breast cancer screening and how you can help raise awareness about breast cancer. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. However, with the right knowledge you can care for your breast health.

Breast Cancer screening can help catch breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat. To determine which screening option is best for you, contact your doctor. The most common and best breast cancer screening tool is the mammogram, which is an x-ray of the breast. Having regular mammograms can help reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer. Regular mammograms also help catch breast cancer early.

Another breast cancer screening tool is the Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) which uses magnets and radio waves to take pictures of the breast. Breast MRI is often used in combination with a mammogram for women who are at high risk for getting breast cancer.

Another breast cancer screening method is the clinical breast exam. In a clinical breast exam, a doctor or nurse will use their hands to feel for any lumps or changes in breast tissue.

Lastly, breast self-awareness and breast self-examinations are also very important. Familiarizing yourself with how your breasts look and feel can help you notice symptoms such as lumps, pain, or changes in size that may be of concern. You should report any changes to your doctor or healthcare provider. For more information on breast cancer screening, visit the CDC.

To help raise awareness about breast cancer, share these breast cancer screening options with the women in your life. Making sure everyone is educated and performing regular breast self-examinations can help catch breast cancer at an earlier stage.

Visit the American Cancer Society to learn more about Breast Cancer and the National Breast Cancer Association to donate toward breast cancer research.

As flu and respiratory season approaches, we’re answering the top 5 Frequently Asked Questions we get most!

  1. What are the symptoms of the flu?

The flu commonly presents with symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, and headache. Some individuals may also experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional. ExperCARE is open 7 days a week with extended hours and can help determine the best course of action for you. You never need an appointment, but can book ahead for your convenience.

  1. How long does the flu last?

The duration of flu symptoms can vary from person to person. In general, the flu can last anywhere from a few days to two weeks. It is crucial to rest, stay hydrated, and follow your doctor’s recommendations for a speedy recovery.

  1. How is the flu spread?

The flu is primarily spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. It can also be contracted by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching the mouth, nose, or eyes. Practicing good hand hygiene, covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing, and avoiding close contact with sick individuals can help prevent the spread of the flu.

  1. Who is at risk of complications from the flu?

Certain individuals are at higher risk of developing complications from the flu, including young children, the elderly, pregnant women, individuals with weakened immune systems, and those with underlying health conditions. It is important for individuals in these groups to take extra precautions, such as getting an annual flu vaccine, to help protect against the virus.

  1. How can I prevent the flu?

The best way to prevent the flu is by getting an annual flu vaccine. Additionally, practicing good hygiene habits, such as frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing, and disinfecting commonly-touched surfaces, can help reduce the risk of contracting and spreading the flu.

BEST URGENT/IMMEDIATE-CARE MEDICAL CLINIC

Catherine Grant, MSPAS, PA-C, DFAAPA
Founder and CEO of ExperCARE Health

For Catherine Grant and her team at ExperCARE Health, constant change is the key to their success. When Grant set out to start a health clinic in 2009, her primary goal was to create a better model and experience for both healthcare professionals and patients when it comes to urgent care.

Fourteen years later, with five current locations in the region, it’s safe to say she met the mark — and then some.

“We wanted to create a more seamless transaction for people so that it fits into their lifestyle,” says Grant. “People don’t want to have to make an appointment weeks ahead of time. They want to be able to walk in when they have a need and get it taken care of and use their insurance and feel like they’re not compromising quality because of convenience.”

To receive care at any ExperCARE Health facility, patients can either schedule a same-day appointment from their phone or computer, or simply walk into any of the five locations to receive care. From providing basic routine care to more extensive testing, such as X-rays and electrocardiograms (EKGs), ExperCARE Health is a one-stop shop for those looking for quick, reliable health care that fits into any busy lifestyle.

When visiting an ExperCARE Health location, expect to be talking to a physician within 15 minutes of arriving. And over 90% of any diagnostic testing needed can be done onsite. Patients can even follow up with an ExperCARE Health physician like they would any other provider. “We’ll stick with them and be their primary contact until they have someone else,” says Grant. “At the end of the day, we want people to know that we’re here for them, no matter what.”

Grant’s next goal? ExperCARE Health is set to open two more locations in Georgia, one in Hinesville and another in Rincon, by year’s end.

As Flu season approaches, remember ExperCARE is here for you! ExperCARE is sharing 5 ExperTIPS to help you stay healthy this Flu season. We provide compassionate care for all ages. Walk-in to one of our convenient Georgia locations today, or schedule an appointment at your convenience here.

Influenza (Flu) season is during the fall and winter, with peak levels from December through February. Here are five ExperTIPS to help limit your risk of catching the Flu:

  1. Know flu symptoms. It is important to know Flu symptoms so you can distance yourself from individuals who are exhibiting them. Common symptoms include fever or chills, coughing, sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, muscle or body aches, headaches, and fatigue. See the complete list of symptoms on the CDC
  2. Know how the flu spreads. The flu spreads person-to-person by droplets made when people who have the flu cough, sneeze, and talk. These droplets are inhaled or land in the nose and mouth of people who are in close proximity to the sick individual.
  3. Limit touching your face. You can also catch the flu by touching an object that has the flu on it and then touching your nose, mouth, and eyes. Make sure to regularly clean all surfaces in your home and at work, especially when you know someone is sick.
  4. Wash your hands frequently. To avoid inhaling and ingesting the flu, wash your hands frequently. Make sure you also wash your hands before eating.
  5. Get a flu vaccine. Getting a flu shot can help reduce your risk of catching the flu. According to the CDC, the flu vaccine can limit your chances of getting the flu between 40%-60%. If you do happen to still get sick, having the vaccine can reduce the severity of your symptoms. Having the vaccine can also reduce the risk for people around you such as infants, elderly, and people with chronic health conditions.

September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. This is a time to raise awareness about the stigmatized topic. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Help is available 24/7.
