“Should I see a doctor for the flu?”

You can go to the doctor if you have the flu, there are antiviral medications that can be prescribed for the flu, You can also go to get tested to verify that you do have the flu, however, you do not HAVE to go . That said if you have other health issues you should at least contact your
primary care provider and let them know your symptoms and see if they would like to see you, test you or send you medication. The flu is viral and generally, it is treated by symptom management. If it is early, like less than 3 days some medications can help shorten the course of the flu or minimize its effects. I hope this answers your question.
