Treating Common Colds

At Physicians Immediate Care, we can help you beat the common cold and get back to your busy schedule. While there really is no cure for a cold, there are ways to lessen the impact the illness has on your everyday life.

Symptoms

Some of the most common symptoms of the common cold include:

  • Runny or stuffy nose
  • Sore throat
  • Cough
  • Congestion
  • Muscle aches and soreness
  • Headache
  • Sneezing
  • Fever

Diagnosis and Treatment

When a cold lingers around, it is important to diagnose whether the symptoms are a result of another illness. Since common cold symptoms are often rather generic, a trip to the doctor or one of our urgent care clinics can be a great way to be sure you aren’t suffering from another ailment.

Your healthcare provider may prescribe a simple decongestant, additional medication, or may want to run additional tests to ensure you are treating the right illness.
