Symptom Guide

Flu vs COVID-19 — Know Your Symptoms

Flu and COVID-19 share many symptoms. Both are managed similarly — but knowing the difference helps your registered online doctor provide the right assessment and treatment for you.

🤧 Flu Symptoms

High fever (sudden) Severe body aches Chills Headache Dry cough Fatigue Sore throat Runny nose Loss of appetite Vomiting (sometimes)
Key characteristic: Flu symptoms typically come on suddenly and severely — you may feel fine one hour and very unwell the next. Body aches and fever are usually prominent.

🦠 COVID-19 Symptoms

Fever or high temperature Persistent dry cough Loss of taste or smell Fatigue Shortness of breath Sore throat Headache Muscle aches Runny or blocked nose Diarrhoea (sometimes)
Key characteristic: COVID-19 symptoms can range from very mild to severe. Loss of taste or smell remains a distinctive symptom. Symptoms may develop more gradually than flu.
Should I See a Doctor?

When Should You See a Doctor for Flu or COVID-19?

Most healthy adults recover from flu and COVID-19 at home with rest and fluids. But there are important situations where seeing a registered online doctor is the right call.

📋

You Need a Sick Cert

If you are absent from work or college and need a valid medical certificate, you need to see a registered doctor — even if your symptoms are mild. DoxOnCall issues sick certs the same day without you leaving home.

🧓

You Are at Higher Risk

People over 65, those with underlying health conditions, immunocompromised patients and pregnant women are at higher risk of complications. An online doctor can assess your risk and discuss antiviral options.

💊

You May Need Antivirals

Antiviral medications for COVID-19 and flu are most effective when started within the first few days of symptoms. If you think you may be eligible, book a consultation quickly — timing matters.

📈

Symptoms Are Getting Worse

If your symptoms are not improving after several days or are worsening — increasing fever, worsening breathlessness or new symptoms developing — you should be assessed by a registered online doctor.

🚨

⚠️ Go to A&E If You Have These Symptoms

Severe difficulty breathing, chest pain, blue lips or fingertips, confusion, collapse or inability to stay awake. These require emergency care — call 999 immediately. Do not use DoxOnCall for emergencies.

😟

You Are Worried or Unsure

If you are unsure how unwell you are or simply want professional reassurance, a registered Irish online doctor can provide clear guidance on next steps — without you leaving home.

💊 Antiviral Medications — Timing Is Critical

Antiviral medications for both COVID-19 (such as Paxlovid) and influenza (such as Tamiflu / oseltamivir) are most effective when started as early as possible after symptoms begin. Eligible patients typically need to start treatment within the first 48–72 hours.

If you are in a high-risk group and have just developed flu or COVID-19 symptoms, book a consultation today — do not wait to see if you improve first.
