MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

Based on your answers, you may need to see a doctor within the next 1 to 2 weeks. Symptoms may not improve without medical care.

  • Call your doctor to discuss the symptoms and make an appointment.
  • If appropriate, try home treatment while you are waiting for the appointment.
  • If the symptoms get worse, call your doctor. You may need care sooner.

Return to the Check Your Symptoms section and answer the questions. You may need to see a doctor sooner if you have other more serious symptoms.
