About Symptom Advisor
Symptom Advisor helps you decide if and how soon you need to see a doctor for an illness or injury and how to safely provide care at home in the meantime. Symptom Advisor does not diagnose problems. It helps you know when to seek medical care for your symptoms.
Choose the symptom that most closely matches the condition. If there is more than one symptom, focus on the one that seems the most serious or that could cause the most harm. You may need to review more than one topic for your symptoms.
Your doctor's advice and your good judgment should always come first over information in these topics. Call 911 if you think the situation is life-threatening or could cause serious harm if not treated right away.
