When to Consult

  • High fever with chills, severe body aches, sore throat, or cough
  • Breathlessness, chest pain, or oxygen saturation below 94%
  • Persistent vomiting, dehydration, or confusion
  • Elderly (≥65), pregnancy, or chronic illnesses (diabetes, heart, lung, kidney)
  • Symptoms not improving after 48–72 hours
  • Recent exposure during outbreaks at school/office

Understanding Flu in the Indian Context

Hyderabad’s winter and post-monsoon seasons bring influenza surges. Early testing and a 48-hour antiviral window speed recovery and prevent pneumonia—especially for seniors, pregnant patients, and those with chronic diseases.

When to Consult Our Flu Specialists

⚠️ Seek urgent care for:

  • ✓ Breathlessness, chest pain, or SpO2 < 94%
  • ✓ Confusion, very low urine, or persistent vomiting
  • ✓ High fever not improving after 48–72 hours

Book a routine visit for fever, severe body aches, sore throat, or cough—especially if you’re elderly, pregnant, or have chronic illnesses.

Our Diagnostic Approach

Triage & Red Flags

Decide OPD vs admission; start supportive care.

Rapid Antigen/RT-PCR

Confirm diagnosis fast and trigger antiviral timing.

Pneumonia Check

Chest exam/X-ray if breathless; rule out bacterial complications.

Risk Stratification

Identify high-risk groups and tailor therapy accordingly.

Treatment Pathways

From hydration and symptom control to targeted antivirals, respiratory support, high-risk admission, vaccination, and tele follow-ups, we individualise care for speed and safety.

What to Expect: Your Care Journey

Day 0: test + plan → 24–48 hrs: fever improves → Day 3–5: energy returns → Week 1–2: full recovery; cough fades.

Technology & Innovation

EMR alerts align testing time with antiviral eligibility and track red flags. Tele check-ins help prevent bounce-backs.

Preventing Complications

Annual vaccination, early testing, and correct inhaler use for wheeze reduce pneumonia and hospital visits.

Diagnosis Approach

1

Triage & Red Flags

Vitals, SpO2, dehydration status; decide OPD vs admission and isolation if needed.

2

Rapid Flu Testing

Antigen test for quick answers; confirm with RT-PCR when high risk, severe disease, or negative antigen with strong suspicion.

3

Pneumonia & Co-infection Check

Chest exam/X-ray if breathlessness; differentiate from COVID, dengue, malaria by season and labs.

4

Risk Stratification

Identify candidates for antivirals (within 48 hrs or high risk even later); review medications and pregnancy status.

Treatment Options

Hydration & Symptom Control

ORS/warm fluids, rest, paracetamol for fever, saline gargles/steam; avoid unnecessary antibiotics.

Relieves symptoms and prevents dehydration
24–72 hours with daily review

Antivirals (Oseltamivir/Equivalents)

Start within 48 hours of onset, or beyond 48 hours in high-risk/severe cases per guidance.

Shortens illness and lowers complications in eligible patients
5 days typical

Respiratory Support Pathway

Nebulisers/inhalers for wheeze; oxygen to maintain SpO2 ≥94%; antibiotics only if bacterial pneumonia suspected.

Improves breathing and reduces ER returns
Case-dependent; close monitoring first 48–72 hours

High-Risk Admission Bundle

For elderly, pregnancy, severe disease: IV fluids, oxygen, glucose control, fetal monitoring if pregnant.

Reduces ICU transfers and readmissions
24–72 hours typical; step-down as stable

Vaccination & Prevention

Annual flu shots; workplace/school outbreak advice; home isolation and mask etiquette.

Lowers infection and severity risk
Seasonal; yearly reminders

Telemedicine & Red-Flag Sheet

WhatsApp check-ins at 24–48–72 hours; explicit return criteria for worsening symptoms.

Cuts bounce-backs by ~25–30%
First week intensive; then as needed

Expected Outcomes

Treatment Timeline

24–48 Hours

Fever curve starts to decline; aches ease

3–5 Days

Most symptoms settle; appetite returns

1–2 Weeks

Energy normalises; cough tails off

1–3 Months

Full recovery after severe cases

Success Metrics

  • Timely antiviral start within 48 hours when eligible
  • Zero unnecessary antibiotics in confirmed flu
  • No ICU escalation among properly triaged OPD cases
