Flu season is here, and that means you or a loved one might have been diagnosed with the flu.
Can the Flu Be Treated?
Yes the flu can be treated with antiviral medications.
Antivirals are medications that fight the flu in your body. These medications are not sold over the counter. They require a prescription from your doctor.
