We usually see a doctor if we are not feeling well. Some only see their doctors if their conditions have already become worse while others just ignore the physical symptoms because it is common and ordinary to any human living.
While some illnesses can be treated by over-the-counter medications, some still need a doctor consultation in order to get the proper treatment and remedy. Here are some instances to tell you when you seriously need a doctor.
1. If you experienced fatigue for a longer period of time or if it is coupled with other physical symptoms like pale skin and painful joints, it could be a mononucleosis anemia. While chronic fatigue syndrome can be manifested through fever and swollen lymph nodes.
2. If your headache does not respond to self-care after 2 days. Severe headache may also be a sign of a blood clot, a tumor or bursting blood vessels in the brain. Headache accompanied by skin rashes, stiff neck and eye sensitivity to light could be a sign of meningitis or encephalitis.
3. If your bruises take a longer time to heal, has become frequent or widespread, swollen, coupled by bleeding gums or fingernails and has appeared for no reason other than trauma. These might indicate a liver disease, HIV or leukemia.
4. If your cough is very dry, you might have an asthma or gastroesophageal reflux disease. If your phlegm is color brown, gray or green, you could have bronchitis or pneumonia.
5. If you have recurring constipation or if your diarrhea last for three or more days. Sometimes stomach troubles like these are symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders.
Illnesses are caused by internal (food intake & activities) and external factors (environment). It is best to consult a doctor in an earlier time rather than wait for your condition to aggravate before finally seeing a doctor. Remember that “prevention is always better than cure”.
