Risks of Flu Converting Into Bacterial Infections
Flu season is one of the most dreaded seasons of the year. While most take preventative action and get vaccinated before the season really takes over, a great majority do not, leaving them susceptible to the virus. In most healthy individuals, symptoms may resolve within a week or two, but what happens when they do not? Unfortunately, that opens the door to a more serious condition: a secondary bacterial infection. Possible secondary bacterial infections could be Pneumonia, Sinusitis and Otitis Media. If you have had an “flu-like” infection for more than a week or have a suspicion of developing a secondary infection with renewed symptoms then we at Zenith Urgent Care would evaluate your symptoms, order advanced testing and recommend the next course of action. We are open Monday–Friday: 8AM–7PM and Saturday–Sunday: 8AM–4PM. We welcome walk in patients or you could schedule same day appointments on our website.
