Cold and Flu

The common cold and the flu are the two most frequent ailments that plague families around the world.

Both diseases are viral infections, both are annoying and exhausting, and both have limited options on how to treat them.

We have included a lot of information below, information from what causes a cold or the flu to old wives tales on how to treat or prevent them.

If you are suffering from either one of these ailments for longer than 5-7 days without any improvement or if your symptoms progress, make sure that you contact your doctor immediately.

Reliance Family Care and Locust Grove Family offer Flu shots every year. Click here to view our calendar to see when they become available.
