SUMMARY: Dr. Timothy Quinn advises getting checked by a doctor at the first sign of cold, flu, or COVID-like symptoms, especially with rising cases and fluctuating Mississippi temperatures. If symptoms are mild, such as without fever or severe cough, consulting a pharmacist can be a good first step. Pharmacists are well-trained to guide treatment options and suggest medications. Dr. Quinn also recommends vaccinations to reduce the severity of illnesses during the cold and flu season.
