Influenza treatment in Cuautitlan Izcalli

The flu is a respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses that affects the nose, throat, and, at times, the lungs. It tends to occur seasonally and spreads easily from person to person.

Common symptoms:

• fever and chills
• headache and muscle aches
• cough, sore throat, and congestion
• marked tiredness

When to see a doctor? it is worth seeking care if symptoms are severe, do not improve, difficulty breathing appears, or the person is more vulnerable, such as children and older adults.

Which specialist treats it? the general practitioner is usually the first point of contact; the pediatrician treats children, and the pulmonologist, the infectious disease specialist, or the otolaryngologist step in for particular cases. When a case gets complicated, the most prudent thing is to seek care in time.
