Have a Cold that Just Won’t Go Away? Here’s How to See a Doctor From Your Couch

Picture this: You’ve been suffering from cold symptoms for a while, and you aren’t sure if it was a sinus infection. You feel so sick and tired that you don’t want to leave your house even to see the doctor. This is where telehealth can help. Often called virtual care, telehealth allows you to see a certified, licensed doctor using your phone, tablet or computer. You can use it for illnesses like colds, rashes, pink eye, flu and headaches, or for minor strains or sprains. You even can get a prescription or a doctor’s note. And it’s less expensive than urgent care.
