Green "Yes"


TRY HOME TREATMENT

Based on your answers, you may wait to see if the symptoms improve over the next 24 hours (or specified time period).

  • Try home treatment to relieve the symptoms.
  • Call your doctor if you are concerned or if symptoms get worse.
  • Watch the symptoms over the next 24 hours (or specified time period). If they don't change, go through the Check Your Symptoms questions again.

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.
