THE AUSTIN DIAGNOSTIC CLINIC OFFERS IMPORTANT TIPS FOR FLU SEASON

Seasonal influenza, commonly called “the flu,” is caused by influenza viruses, which infect the respiratory tract (i.e., the nose, throat, lungs). Unlike other viral respiratory infections, such as the common cold, the flu can cause severe illness and even life-threatening complications in some individuals. In the U.S., approximately five percent to 20 percent of the population gets the flu, and more than 200,000 people are hospitalized f ro m s e a s o n a l f l u - re l a t e d complications. The flu virus spreads through the air when a person who has the virus sneezes, coughs, or speaks. The flu can sometimes be passed on through objects that someone with the virus touched, sneezed, or coughed on. When a healthy person touches these contaminated items and then touches his or her mouth or nose, the virus can enter their system. Flu epidemics often start in schools and then move quickly through the community as students spread the virus to family members and people around them. The most common symptoms of the flu include fever, cough, sore throat, stuffy or runny nose, body aches, headaches, chills and fatigue. Some individuals also experience vomiting and diarrhea. These symptoms may appear one to four days after a person has been exposed to the virus. The fever and Copyright © 2011 Peel, Inc.

aches usually disappear within a few days, but fatigue, sore throat, cough and other symptoms may linger for a week or more. The best way to treat the flu is to get plenty of rest and to continuously drink liquids such as water and other non-caffeinated beverages. Most people who get the flu will get better on their own once the virus has run its course. However, call your doctor if your symptoms worsen, if you are having trouble breathing or if you have another health condition such as diabetes, asthma or heart problems. Please Note –People carrying the virus can be contagious one day before their symptoms appear and about five to seven days after they first get symptoms, so it is possible to pass the flu on before a person knows they are even sick. It is important that children and adults stay home from school or work until their temperature has returned to normal and they are feeling better. The best way to avoid getting the flu is to have all members of your family over six months in age receive the flu vaccine. The vaccine is designed to protect against the three influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season. This year’s vaccine will protect against the H3N2, H1N1 and influenza B viruses.

“The most common and proven method of preventing the flu in your household is through annual vaccinations,” said Dr. William Lockett, an internist who will serve ADC’s Westlake location. “During flu outbreaks, it is always a good idea to wash hands often and thoroughly, and to avoid sharing cups, utensils and towels with others. For those that get the flu, it is an unpleasant experience but one that will pass once the influenza has completed its cycle. However, it is important to monitor the recovery of your loved ones and consult your physician if any complications become evident, especially among those with diabetes, asthma, heart conditions or other chronic illnesses.” ADC’s 9,000-square-foot Westlake clinic will be located in the Cielo Center at 1250 S. Capitol of Texas Highway, Building 3. It will feature specialty care as well as lab services. Medical specialties at the new location will include Cardiology, Dermatology, Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Neurology, Pulmonary, Rheumatology and Urology. In addition, ADCs Health Risk Management will provide weight loss programs at the Westlake clinic. For more information regarding the new ADC clinic in Westlake, visit www.ADClinic.com/Westlake.
