In Tyler, East Texas, a number of flu cases has been reported at Tyler Urgent Care. According to the doctors, summer is a rare time to acquire the influenza virus, but in East Texas hospitals, many patients are tested positive.
A 38-year old man in Tyler has suffered in comatose condition for three weeks after being sick of flu six months ago. He had kidney failure but is now fully recovering.
Dr. Bill Wallace of Tyler Urgent Care reveals that flu does strike in the summer, despite being rare. People who have had flu shots from last fall must take caution, he says, because even if there's a little bit of protection left, it's not enough for a new and different flu strain during spring and summer.
Flu is contagious. In order to avoid getting sick, doctors advise to wash hands often and stay away from people who have just been sick or still recovering. If you start feeling headaches, fever, and body pain, it's time to head to the hospital before it gets too late.
