Colds

Symptoms of colds usually are a stuffy or runny nose and sneezing. Other symptoms include coughing, a scratchy throat, and watery eyes. There is no vaccine to prevent colds, which come on gradually and often spread through everyday contact.

Flu

Symptoms of the flu come on suddenly and can include fever, headache, chills, dry cough, sore throat, body or muscle aches, tiredness, and feeling generally miserable. Like the viruses that cause a cold, flu viruses can cause a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes. Young children also may experience nausea and vomiting.

Check with your health care provider promptly if you are at high risk for flu-related complications and you have flu symptoms — or if you have flu symptoms that do not improve.

People at high risk include:

  • Children younger than 5 years, but especially those younger than age 2
  • Pregnant women
  • People with certain chronic health conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart or lung disease)
  • People age 65 or older

COVID-19

People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus.

People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:

  • Fever or chills
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headache
  • New loss of taste or smell
  • Sore throat
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea

This list does not include all possible symptoms. The most up-to-date information can be found on the CDC website. Visit https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/coronavirus-self-checker.html.

Your Safety Comes First

We’ve taken every precaution to keep patients and our team safe during the COVID-19 health crisis, and we’re committed to continuing to improve and find innovative ways to provide safe, effective care to you for the immediate future and for years to come. We’ve thought through every aspect of your care journey – from how every treatment area is cleaned and sanitized to changes in our waiting rooms to ensure social distancing.

To support our staff, patients, and community health at large, all patients will be screened for COVID-19 and asked to wear a mask, which can be provided if you don’t have one with you. When arriving at the physical location of the clinic, anyone entering the facility will go through a short screening. If you are calling for an appointment, either to the office phone number or central scheduling, you will be asked a short series of screening questions.

All McKenzie Health System staff are screened daily and required to wear masks when unable to maintain social distancing and when working with patients. Scheduling of appointments has been changed to best allow for social distancing. This includes grouping appointments for “well” visits in one part of the day and “sick” visits in another part of the day.

Our highly skilled environmental services staff, who themselves are screened for health daily, take pride in providing the most thorough cleaning and sanitizing measures. All surfaces are thoroughly disinfected with medical-grade cleaning agents. From doorknobs to faucets, light switches to equipment controls, each touchpoint is addressed regularly to ensure your safety.
