What should I do if I am sick?

If you are experiencing the following symptoms and have concern for COVID-19 exposure (travel or recent contacts),  call your primary care physician OR click the link below to schedule a video consultation for evaluation:
Moderate to Severe Cough
​Elevated temperature ever (temp of 100 or higher)
+/- Tiredness
Gastroentestinal symptoms (Vomiting, diarrhea, etc)
+/- Shortness of Breath - if this is severe or rapidly progressing, go to the emergency room
​If you have any of the following risk factors in addition to the above symptoms, contact your healthcare provider today or click the link below to schedule evaluation:

Age 60+ years
Diabetes
Chronic Lung Disease (asthma, COPD, bronchitis, emphysema, etc.)
History (current or past) of smoking/vaping
Heart Disease
Chronic Kidney Disease
Currently Pregnant or pregnancy within the past two weeks
Immunocompromised (HIV +, on drugs or treatments that suppress the immune system, cancer, etc.)
Travel to a highly affected geographic area within the last 30 days including outside the US (China, Europe) or in the continental US (New York, Washington, California, Oregon, and Colorado).  
Our recommendation is to use Tylenol (acetaminophen) to reduce high fevers. 

There is some controversy as to whether Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, naproxen, or Aleve  could cause the symptoms of the virus to worsen.  Thus, if Tylenol manages fever sufficiently, stick to using that.  If you are unable to take Tylenol for other medical issues such as liver disease, NSAID use may be warranted - please call your primary care provider for further instructions as this will vary from person to person.
