What is the flu?

The flu, or influenza, is a contagious viral infection that affects your respiratory system. While it often resolves on its own, the flu can lead to serious complications for certain individuals, such as young children, seniors, and those with weakened immune systems or chronic health conditions like asthma, diabetes, or heart disease.

At Co-Hill Urgent Care, we emphasize the importance of prevention. Receiving an annual flu shot is the best way to protect yourself and those around you. Our flu vaccinations target the most prevalent flu strains each season to keep you covered.

What causes the flu?

The flu virus spreads through airborne droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. You can also contract the flu by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.

At Co-Hill, we prioritize education and prevention to minimize the spread of flu in Harmony, Beaver Falls, and the surrounding areas.

What are the symptoms of the flu?

Symptoms can vary but often include:

  • Persistent cough
  • Sore throat
  • Runny nose and nasal congestion
  • Aching muscles
  • Sweats, chills, or fever
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Headache

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, visit Co-Hill Urgent Care for a professional evaluation. We offer on-site rapid influenza testing to confirm if you have the flu. With results available in just 15–20 minutes, we’ll quickly determine the best course of action.

What are the complications of the flu?
