Flu season is here and it doesn’t appear to be going away any time soon. Nationwide, there is still a steady increase of flu activity week over week. The flu does not take sympathy on anyone. It can come on strong and without warning. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it is important to seek treatment from a medical practitioner at Midwest Express clinic:

• Fever or body chills similar to when a fever is present
• Coughing
• Sore throat
• Headache
• Tiredness
• Excessive vomiting or diarrhea
• Stuffy or runny nose

While you may not experience all of these symptoms, it is important to note that a fever does not need to be present to have the flu.

• Avoid contact with those experiencing flu like symptoms
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
• Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu
