Question

List any three reasons why you would think that you are sick and ought to see a doctor. If only one of these symptoms were present would you still go to the doctor? why or why not?

Answer 1

I believe I am ill and require medical attention for the following three reasons:

1. fever-
   • A fever is a temporary rise in body temperature caused by an illness.
   • A fever in an adult may be uncomfortable, but it is usually not cause for concern unless it reaches 103 F (39.4 C) or higher.
2. Headache-
   • One of the most common type of pain is headache.
   • Tension headaches are the one of the most common type of headache.
   • Tension headaches are caused by tense muscles in your shoulders, neck, scalp, and jaw.
   • They are frequently associated with stress, depression, or anxiety.
3. Cough and cold-
   • The common cold virus enters our bodies through the mouth, eyes, or nose.
   • When someone who is sick coughs, sneezes, or speaks, the virus can spread through droplets in the air.

If only one of these symptoms were present, I would seek medical attention because there is a possibility that I am suffering from a disease, and it is not good to put off treatment.
If there is no disease, I will take medications to alleviate symptoms and return to a normal life as soon as possible.
