IV Therapy for Cold and Flu
A cold or the flu can interfere with your everyday activities and keep you from doing the things you enjoy by making you feel worn out, uneasy, and in pain for days or even weeks. With the vitamins your body requires as fuel to naturally alleviate your symptoms and support your immune system, we'll give you an IV to rapidly rehydrate you.
If you don’t feel up to leaving the house, we even offer mobile IV treatments to help you get better, right from the comfort of your own home.
How can IV therapy help with cold & flu symptoms?
The symptoms of the flu and the typical cold are similar. Flu symptoms, on the other hand, are frequently more serious and risky. They also manifest and persist more quickly than the majority of cold symptoms.
Here are some of the most typical cold and flu signs you might encounter:
Sore Throat: A sore throat can be a sign of the illness or a cold and can be brought on by chronic coughing. A sore throat brought on by the flu frequently begins out scratchy and gets worse over time.
Nasal Congestion: Both colds and the flu can make it difficult for the sinuses to correctly drain, which can cause a stuffy or runny nose.
Sneezing and coughing: Sneezing more frequently than normal is a precursor to a cold, but it can also be a sign of the flu if it is accompanied by a persistent, dry cough. These and other respiratory problems are brought on by the influenza virus, which irritates nerve receptors in the body's airways.
Weakness and Exhaustion: You may experience fatigue and aches if you have the illness or a cold. Some of the first symptoms of the flu are weakness and exhaustion, which are typically more severe than cold-related fatigue.
Fever: The flu can be distinguished from cold viruses by a temperature of more than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Sweating and shivers may also accompany a fever.
Headache: A moderate headache or migraine is a typical sign of the common cold, and the flu may also be accompanied by a headache around or behind the eyes.
Influenza viruses can also cause severe side effects like pneumonia, which may necessitate an ER visit. However, if you only have minor symptoms, you might be able to get better at home with IV treatment for the flu and cold.
