Age and some underlying health conditions can increase the likelihood of severe COVID-19. The CDC treatment page advises people at higher risk to contact a healthcare professional promptly after symptoms start, even when symptoms seem mild. A clinician can review the patient’s health history, medications and treatment options.
COVID-19 antiviral treatments are not right for everyone, and they may have eligibility limits or medication interactions. Some options need to begin within five days of symptom onset; others within seven days. The CDC explains treatment windows and why early contact is important. EZMED Primary Care can help patients coordinate ongoing health needs, while EZMED Urgent Care may evaluate appropriate acute symptoms.
Write down the first day of symptoms, home test results, current medications and supplements, chronic conditions, allergies and any recent changes. Depending on the symptoms, EZMED Telehealth may be an option for an initial non-emergency discussion, but a clinician may recommend in-person evaluation.

Can symptoms alone tell me if I have COVID-19?
No. COVID-19, influenza and other respiratory infections can cause similar symptoms. Testing and clinical assessment may help.
Can I visit urgent care for COVID-like symptoms?
Many non-emergency respiratory concerns can be assessed in urgent care. Call ahead to confirm current testing availability.
When should I seek emergency help?
Call 911 for severe breathing trouble, persistent chest pain or pressure, new confusion, or inability to stay awake.
