❓ What does strep throat look like? Another top-searched question this season.

Clues that point more toward strep than a typical viral sore throat:
• A very red throat and swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches
• Tiny red spots on the roof of the mouth
• Fever, headache, stomach ache (common in kids)
• Swollen, tender glands in the neck
• And notably: usually no cough

A runny nose, hoarse voice, and cough point more toward a virus — and viruses don't need antibiotics. Strep needs a test to confirm, because untreated strep can lead to complications.

A photo from the internet can't diagnose it — a quick strep test can. In-office testing is available at Lotus DPC in Brighton.

Members: message Dr. Thomas, come in, get tested, get a clear answer.

❓ How long does the flu last?

It's already here locally — early flu cases are turning up in neighboring Wayne, Oakland and Washtenaw counties, with Washtenaw at moderate levels.

For most healthy adults, the worst is usually 3–5 days, with most symptoms easing in 5–7 days. The tiredness and cough can hang on for 1–2 weeks after.

You can spread flu starting about a day before you feel sick, and for roughly 5–7 days after.

Basics: rest, fluids, and fever control if your doctor says it's right for you. Antiviral medicine works best started early — within the first 48 hours — which is why quick access to your doctor matters. In-office testing is available at Lotus DPC.

Members can reach Dr. Thomas by phone, text, or email when symptoms hit — not after a week on a waitlist. 📞 (248) 430-8649 · lotusdpc.com

🤧 Virus season is here, Livingston County — and the 2 a.m. Googling starts now.

"Is this contagious?" "How long does the flu last?" "Is this strep?"

Over the next few weeks, Dr. Suma Thomas will answer the most-searched respiratory questions of the season — in plain English, no scare tactics.

At Lotus DPC, members don't have to guess from search results. They can text, call, or email Dr. Thomas directly. And yes — in-office testing is available at Lotus, so you can get an answer, not just a guess.

In today’s fast-paced medical system, a doctor who actually takes her time does feel like a unicorn. But at Lotus Primary Care, it’s just how we do things.

By removing the insurance middlemen, Dr. Suma Thomas is able to spend almost 3x more time with you than a standard clinic. That means longer visits, no rushing, and a physician who genuinely wants to understand your whole health picture.
