IV Therapy for Cold and Flu Symptoms

Can IV therapy treatment help you this cold and flu season? You might think you have no control over getting sick, but you have more than you might imagine.

The flu feels terrible, no matter your symptoms

Everyone experiences a seasonal cold or flu differently. Some feel totally out of it physically and mentally. Others have less severe symptoms but still know it’s best to rest and stay home. Cold and flu symptoms run the gamut, with suffers having just several or all the following symptoms:

Fever and possibly chills
Sore throat or active cough
Runny or stuffy nose
Muscle soreness, body aches, or fatigue
Headaches
Vomiting and diarrhea

Other viruses and stomach bugs can mimic the flu, and only a lab test can tell you for sure. But no matter the precise cause, you feel miserable. If you’ve had the flu before, you know the drill: Get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids.

Over-the-counter (OTC) medications may help, but have you considered options beyond your doctor’s office and your pharmacy’s cold-and-flu section? IV drip therapy can provide fast, effective relief—without you even stepping out of the house.

IV therapy treatments for at-home cold and flu relief

Imagine this. You take the cold and flu medicines you keep at home, but they’re not working. It would be exhausting to trek to the pharmacy and scour the shelves for other products. You can’t even think of getting dressed and going to the doctor. Too many of us have been in this situation.

Leaving home is the last thing you want to do when you feel lousy. Luckily, if you live in the Worcester to Boston areas, you don’t have to. IV treatments can be administered at home to rapidly deliver the vital hydration, electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals you need for recovery and immune strength.

Why IV treatments provide faster cold and flu relief

Oral medications need to be digested before the ingredients enter the bloodstream for use by the body. This process usually takes one to two hours. IV treatments work faster because the drip bag delivers fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals directly into the bloodstream. In general, you’ll feel positive effects almost immediately.

The power of IV drip therapy for stomach bugs

Unlike cookie-cutter OTC medications that may or may not address your exact needs, your nurse can tailor the ingredients in the drip bag based on your individual symptoms and their severity. Many of the common IV therapy nutrients below serve multiple purposes.

Here are some ways IV therapy medications help you feel better and stay healthier:

B Complex vitamins support immune function
Famotidine (Pepcid) helps calm nausea and acid reflux.
Vitamin B12 increases energy and improves recovery from illness
Zofran helps relieve nausea and vomiting
Glutathione is an antioxidant that supports immune health
Magnesium helps treat headaches, fight infections, regulate body temperature, and reduce inflammation
Vitamin C may help reduce the length of cold and flu symptoms
Zinc helps your body fight infection and reduces the severity and duration of colds and the flu

Stay Well by Boosting Immune Function

Nobody wants to go to work with a drippy cold, take care of kids when you’re run down, or run errands when you’re under the weather. Don’t wait to get sick before you get an infusion of immune-boosting nutrients. Avoid the worst by getting IV treatment now. The right infusion ingredients can support your immune system and help you stay ahead of seasonal illnesses, replenishing your body with hydration, vitamins, minerals, nutrients and antioxidants.

Here’s what to expect with IV drip treatment

It’s possible to choose an IV therapy service with highly qualified nurses who will come right to your home. For your safety and optimal results, you will first consult with your nurse, providing a medical history and discussing your symptoms.

After determining the right mix, the nurse can tell you what’s in the mixture, what to expect, and any possible side effects—which are generally mild and go away soon after the treatment is complete. Treatments typically last 30 minutes to an hour. Afterward, your body will immediately start using the ingredients to speed up the healing process.
