Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Flu test: If you have flu like symptoms, your PCP may be able to treat with Tamiflu and evaluate for signs of wheezing or asthma. If your cough lingers for more than 3 weeks or if there is a fever for more than 3 days, please see your PCP. In the meantime, rinse nasal passages with saline and stay well hydrated. Usually viral illnesses self resolve. Emergency department for shortness of breath/chest pain.
