Where to Get Walk-In Flu Treatment Only a Short Drive From Rio Grande, NJ

If you’re like most people who get the flu, you don’t feel like leaving the comfort of your sofa, much less spending hours in the emergency room waiting to see a doctor. Fortunately for those in the Rio Grande, New Jersey, area, Cape Regional Urgent Care offers a better alternative. We have two walk-in urgent care clinics that can be reached within minutes—one in Wildwood and the other in Cape May Court House—and whichever one you choose offers short wait times for patients seeking treatment for flu and other non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries.

The First Step in Flu Treatment: Diagnosis

Flu symptoms can be similar to those caused by other viruses, and the most effective treatment will depend on an accurate diagnosis. Cape Regional Urgent Care offers on-site flu testing, which can help our highly qualified medical practitioners provide an accurate diagnosis that leads to an effective treatment plan. In fact, thanks to our in-house lab, we’re able to offer same-day testing for a variety of respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19.

Don’t Delay Seeking Treatment

If you or your child is experiencing flu symptoms, it’s important to seek treatment right away. Once we’ve confirmed through testing that you have a flu infection, your doctor may prescribe antiviral medication to help reduce your discomfort and speed your recovery. These antiviral medications are most effective when taken within two days of the onset of flu symptoms.

Of course, flu prevention is the best approach to dealing with the flu season, and Cape Regional is pleased to offer flu shots on a walk-in basis to patients from the Rio Grande area. We’re open during extended hours seven days a week, and we accept many health insurance plans. Contact us today for more information.
