Get a Flu Test With No Appointment Needed at Our Clinic Near Somers Point, NJ
Did you wake up with a sore throat, fever, and that yucky feeling that you’ve had before with the flu? Even if you’re convinced that you’re experiencing the same symptoms again, it’s a good idea to get a flu test to be sure, and the sooner the better. This is because there are prescription flu treatments that can ease your symptoms and speed up your recovery, but they must be taken early in the illness to be effective. A flu test is the first step toward getting the treatment you need. But what if you’re visiting from out of town or your primary care doctor’s appointment schedule is booked solid?
If you’re in Somers Point, New Jersey, you can get a flu test quickly and conveniently by taking a short drive to the Cape Regional Urgent Care walk-in clinic in Marmora. We offer on-site flu testing, and we’re open during extended hours seven days a week. We don’t require appointments, our wait times are short, and our rates are affordable. We also accept many health insurance plans.
What Happens if Your Flu Test Is Positive?
If your flu test at Cape Regional Urgent Care indicates you have an influenza infection, your doctor may prescribe certain antiviral medications that can help you feel better and also shorten your recovery time. Our clinic is equipped with an in-house prescription dispensary that may allow us to provide you with the appropriate medication during your visit, thus eliminating the need to make a second stop at a local pharmacy.
We also offer in-house testing and treatment for a wide variety of respiratory illnesses that have symptoms somewhat similar to those caused by the influenza virus. These include:
- Strep throat
- Mononucleosis
- RSV virus testing
Moreover, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 often presents flu-like symptoms. Cape Regional Urgent Care offers coronavirus testing in addition to flu tests. However, because COVID-19 is such a highly infectious disease, we provide coronavirus testing only by appointment.
We’ll be happy to tell you more about our flu testing and treatment or any of the many other nonemergency health care services we provide to the Somers Point community. Contact Cape Regional Urgent Care today for more information.
