How We Treat It
Our physicians evaluate your symptoms via video, determine whether your illness is viral or bacterial, and prescribe appropriate treatment. This may include antivirals (like Tamiflu for flu), antibiotics for bacterial infections, cough suppressants, decongestants, or other medications sent electronically to your pharmacy.
When to Seek Emergency Care
Seek in-person emergency care if you experience difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, high fever unresponsive to medication, severe dehydration, or confusion. Call 911 for life-threatening emergencies.
