As we settle into January 2026, West Texas is seeing its usual spike in respiratory issues. Between the "Abilene Crud" (that pesky cedar fever) and the current flu strain, it can be hard to know when to stay in bed and when to seek medical help.
When to Visit Our S 27th St Clinic:
High Fever: If a fever persists or climbs above 103°F (39.4°C).
Shortness of Breath: Especially important for children and seniors in the Abilene area.
Rapid Testing: We offer "4-in-1" respiratory panels that test for Flu A/B, COVID-19, and RSV simultaneously.
By getting tested early at our South Abilene location, you can access antiviral treatments that work best when started within the first 48 hours of symptoms. Protect your family and the Big Country community by getting an accurate diagnosis today.
