Flu cases are rising across the UK this winter, earlier than usual.
Flu isn’t just a bad cold. A sudden high temperature, aching muscles and exhaustion can come on within hours. Most people recover within a week, but some need medical advice sooner.
See a GP if:
* Your symptoms aren’t improving after 7 days
* You’re 65 or over
* You’re pregnant or have a long-term condition such as asthma, diabetes or heart disease
* You have chest pain or difficulty breathing
At Gogodoc, our GMC-registered private GPs offer same-day appointments by phone or video, wherever you are in the UK. In-clinic appointments are also available at 104 Harley Street, London.
Consultations from £45, six days a week.
