IV Treatment for Flu
Table of Contents

If you’re trying to quickly recover from flu symptoms like pain, congestion, and dehydration , IV therapy may be the perfect solution. Cold and flu IV treatments are specially formulated to provide essential nutrients and replenish lost fluids so you can get back on your feet quickly.
Cold and Flu Symptoms
Both the common cold and the seasonal flu (influenza) are viral respiratory illnesses with similar symptoms, including:
- Sore throat, runny nose, and nasal congestion
- Dry cough, chest pressure, and pain
- Fever, chills, and sweating
- Fatigue, weakness, and muscle/body aches
- Headache or migraine
- Nausea and vomiting
Note: While colds progress gradually and are rarely accompanied by high fevers or body aches, the flu progresses rapidly, involves more severe symptoms, and often keeps you feeling unwell for much longer.
Do IV Fluids Help With the Flu?
IV therapy boosts your immune system and alleviates symptoms by replenishing fluids and delivering essential vitamins and nutrients directly into your bloodstream. This completely bypasses the digestive system, guaranteeing 100% absorption—which is far more efficient than oral medications or vitamins that must first be broken down by your body.
What Ingredients Are Inside an IV Bag for the Flu?
Reset IV Cold and Flu packages include:
- Normal Saline: Replenishes lost fluids and electrolytes, loosens mucus, and relieves congestion.
- Vitamin C (Super Dose): A key immune supporter that reduces inflammation and infection, potentially shortening the duration of the illness.
- Multivitamin: Replenishes Vitamin C, A, B-complex (including B1 and B6), D3, E, K1, niacinamide (B3), and dexpanthenol (B5) to fight infections.
- Pain Relief Medication: Anti-inflammatory and pain relief medication that blocks substances causing fever, swelling, and muscle aches.
We also offer stomach flu and immune boost packages, and can further customize your treatment based on your needs.
The Process of IV Flu Treatment
Reset IV is a mobile concierge service. We bring treatment to your home, office, or hotel, usually within an hour of booking (depending on availability). The infusion itself takes 30 to 45 minutes, and the entire appointment (including setup and cleanup) takes about 90 minutes. You can relax, read, or watch TV while a licensed nurse administers the treatment.
Safety and Staff Training
Reset IV staff are board-certified physicians and registered nurses fully licensed in California, Florida, and Nevada, following hospital-grade safety protocols. Note: If you have a history of kidney disease, heart/blood pressure conditions, G6PD enzyme deficiency, or hemochromatosis, please consult your doctor, as high-dose Vitamin C may not be appropriate.
Additional Ways to Fight the Flu
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids (water, soups, herbal teas) to keep your throat moist and thin out mucus. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
- Eat Immune-Boosting Foods: Garlic (antimicrobial), ginger (nausea relief), leafy greens (anti-inflammatory), and potassium-rich foods like bananas to replace electrolytes lost through fever or vomiting.
- Zinc Supplements: Essential for white blood cell development; may shorten the duration of a cold by up to 50%.
- Steam: Hot showers can loosen congestion and soothe the lungs.
- Rest: Sleep is critical for your body’s inflammatory response and ability to fight off viruses.
