Dr. Samadi discusses a new, FDA-approved 10-minute flu test. This year's flu season is continuing later than usual, though it most commonly presents as the same two strains as last year, meaning that many people still have immunity.
Typically the flu is diagnosed clinically with consistent symptoms including red eyes, sore throat, muscle aches, fever, and fatigue - all with sudden onset. Tamiflu can be prescribed to speed recovery, which usually takes 7-10 days.
