Flu Illness

Feel Like You’ve Been Hit by a Truck? It Might Be the Flu

Sudden fever. Body aches. That crushing fatigue that makes even getting out of bed feel like a mission. If it feels like the flu, it probably is. And if you’re in Houston, OBUR Health is here to help you bounce back faster with flu illness treatment that comes to you, virtually, in-person, or in-home.

Let’s Talk Symptoms: When Is It Really the Flu?

Flu symptoms aren’t shy. They show up fast and hit hard. You may have:
  • A fever over 100.4°F
  • Severe body or muscle aches
  • Chills and sweating
  • A dry, hacking cough
  • Sore throat or nasal congestion
  • Fatigue that just won’t quit
  • Headache or dizziness
  • Nausea or upset stomach (sometimes)
While these symptoms can overlap with the common cold or even COVID-19, timing and intensity are what usually set the flu apart.

Sick Days Shouldn’t Mean Guesswork

Flu isn’t something to “push through.” Left unmanaged, it can lead to complications, especially in kids, seniors, or people with chronic conditions.

That’s why OBUR Health treats flu illness as the urgent, manageable condition it is, with appointment-based care designed to bring answers quickly and safely.

Rapid Testing: Tailored Treatment

When you book with OBUR Health for flu illness treatment in Houston, here’s what you can expect:

  • Rapid flu tests (in-clinic or at home)

We don’t do one-size-fits-all flu care; we treat you, not just your symptoms.

Who Should Act Fast?

If any of the following applies to you, don’t wait to book care:

  • You’re immunocompromised or pregnant

  • You’re caring for a young child or elderly parent with flu symptoms
  • You’re experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness
  • Symptoms are worsening after 3–4 days instead of improving

The sooner we catch it, the quicker we can help you heal.
