Doctors seeing the flu, pink eye and GI bug
Doctors around Mid-Missouri are seeing a record number of patients for the flu.
Dr. Tara Flynn at MU Health said Mizzou’s Urgent Care saw a record number of flu patients this week.
Flynn said they are picking up just as many type B cases as they are type A flu.
She also said pink eye and a G.I. bug are making their rounds.
Symptoms of the bug are abdominal cramping, diarrhea and vomiting. Flynn said it usually passes within 24 hours, but it comes on quickly and violently.
