Many cold and sinus requests can be handled online when the illness still sounds low acuity and there are no warning signs for pneumonia, severe flu, or another problem needing in-person evaluation.

If treatment is appropriate, your physician can send a non-controlled prescription to your pharmacy and provide portal instructions for the next step.

Start the request on the website, answer the fit questions, and choose the response window you want. If the concern still fits this service, a physician reviews it and sends a secure update after sign-in. When appropriate, non-controlled prescriptions can be sent to your pharmacy, and a basic work or school note can be included at physician discretion.

Can sinus symptoms be treated online?

Sometimes, yes. The request has to stay in a low-acuity lane without chest symptoms, major dehydration, or signs of a more serious infection.

When should cold or flu symptoms be seen in person?

Breathing trouble, chest pain, confusion, inability to stay hydrated, or rapidly worsening symptoms should be evaluated in person rather than through a low-acuity online visit.
