1. COLD & FLU -

The cold or the flu are the leading causes of urgent care visits. Since the symptoms are similar, it can be challenging to distinguish between the two. In these situations, going to an urgent care facility like Expedian is advantageous since the doctor can prescribe an antiviral medication to shorten the illness duration if it is the flu.
