Tackling the Flu, One Text at a Time

“The Flu Bug Got You? Tap In, Don’t Drag Through It!”

Okay, let’s face it,. when the flu hits, it hits hard. You go from feeling like a champ to feeling like you’ve been run over by a bus (a very achy, stuffy, feverish bus). And let’s not even get started on the brain fog – it’s like trying to think through a bowl of mashed potatoes. Trying to drag yourself out of bed to get to the doctor can feel like a full marathon when you just want to stay under the covers.

But here’s the good news: Tap Telehealth is here to help you bounce back faster than you can say “achoo!” You don’t have to brave the waiting room when you’re feeling your worst. We’re here to help!

With Tap Telehealth, battling the flu is as simple as sending a text:

  1. Tap & Text: Reach out when you start feeling those flu-like symptoms. No need for a doctor’s office visit.
  2. Chat with a Pro: Our awesome Doctors will ask you about your symptoms. We’ll ask when you first started feeling sick and if you have a fever.
  3. Personalized Advice: We’ll give you recommendations on how to manage your symptoms. We’ll let you know about over the counter medications to help you.
  4. Treatment Plan: If needed, we can send in an antiviral medication to help you get better faster.
  5. Get Better, Quicker: We’ll follow up to ensure our treatments are helping and you’re on the road to recovery.

Even though Tap Telehealth is super convenient, sometimes you need an in-person doctor visit. Here are some situations where we’d recommend seeing a doctor face-to-face:

  • Difficulty Breathing or Chest Pain: This can indicate a more serious issue that should be evaluated in person.
  • Severe Vomiting or Dehydration: You could need IV fluids to help you feel better.
  • Worsening Symptoms: If your symptoms are not improving within a few days it’s time to go in.

“At Tap Telehealth, we want to keep you healthy. We’re not here to keep you away from the doctor, but we are here to make sure you get the right treatment at the right time. We want to ensure that you get healthy and stay healthy.”

“Don’t let the flu knock you out. Tap into Tap Telehealth and start feeling like yourself again.”
