Think you have the swine flu? How about calling a nurse before going to a hospital?
State public health officials have opened a new hotline to help people with advice on what to do in case they have the flu.
The Oregon Public Health Flu Hotline (1-800-978-3040) has nurses to talk to about symptoms, prevention advice, concerns about flu exposure, taking care of others and when to see a doctor.
“Most people recover from the flu on their own with rest and fluids,” said Dr. Paul Cieslak, medical director for the Oregon public health immunization program. “But sometimes it’s helpful to talk to a medical professional to decide if you need to go to the doctor.”
The Oregon Public Health Flu Hotline is one-stop shopping for all your flu concerns. Operators can tell callers about vaccine availability and answer many basic flu questions.
The services are available throughout the state, in nearly any language.
The Oregon Public Health Flu Hotline is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends and holidays.
