Don’t wait to call a doctor.
The flu starts suddenly, usually with fever, body aches, headaches and cold symptoms. You can take an antiviral medication to reduce the severity and length of illness…but you must start within 48 hours of getting sick. To get an antiviral prescription:
- Request an MDLIVE virtual doctor visit: 888.725.3097 or mdlive.com/regence
- Go to an in-network urgent care clinic (search for one on regence.com)
- Call your doctor for an appointment

PS: Flu season continues through May, so consider getting a flu shot now, if you haven’t had one yet this season.
