Flu & COVID Testing and Respiratory Illness Care

Influenza (flu) and COVID detection testing, plus treatment of flu, cough and respiratory illnesses.

  • Rapid flu and COVID testing
  • Same-day diagnosis
  • Treatment of flu, cough and bronchitis
  • Walk-in care in Spanish

When fever, cough or malaise start, knowing whether it's the flu, COVID or a throat infection helps you get treated in time. At Clínica Hispana Nueva Salud we run rapid tests and give you treatment the same day: no appointment, no insurance required and in Spanish.

What's included?

  • Rapid flu (influenza) test with results in minutes
  • COVID-19 test
  • Strep test if the sore throat suggests it
  • Evaluation of respiratory symptoms and a check of lungs and throat
  • Treatment for the flu, cough, bronchitis, sinusitis and throat infections
  • Same-day prescription and medication; we have a pharmacy inside the clinic
  • Recovery and home-care instructions, in Spanish

Flu, COVID or common cold?

The symptoms look alike, but the treatment differs:

  • Cold: congestion, sneezing, mild discomfort; usually passes in a few days.
  • Flu: sudden high fever, body aches, intense tiredness. Antiviral medication works best in the first 48 hours.
  • COVID-19: fever, cough, tiredness, sometimes loss of smell or taste. Worth confirming to protect others at home.

A rapid test clears up the doubt in minutes and lets us give the right treatment from day one.

When should I come in?

  • Fever of 100.4 °F (38 °C) or higher lasting more than 2 days
  • Cough that doesn't improve in a week or gets worse
  • Severe sore throat, with white patches or trouble swallowing
  • Chest pain when breathing or wheezing
  • Flu symptoms if you have asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, are over 65 or pregnant

Go to the emergency room immediately if you have trouble breathing, blue lips or confusion.

Prevention

The annual flu vaccine reduces the risk of severe illness. Washing your hands, covering your cough and staying home when you have a fever protects your family and coworkers.

What is the visit like?

  1. Walk in without an appointment and check in at the front desk.
  2. The medical staff evaluates your symptoms and checks your throat, ears and lungs.
  3. A rapid flu, COVID or strep test is done as needed; results are ready in minutes.
  4. You leave with your diagnosis, prescription and treatment the same day.
  5. If you need a doctor's note for work or school, we provide it.
