ProHealth Care's Symptom Advisor

What to do for Common Illnesses and Injuries

What should you do when you twist your ankle? Do you need to go to the emergency department now? Is the cough that you have had for three days serious? What should you do when your child falls and gets a bump on the head? Do you need to go to the emergency department now? Is the croupy cough that just started serious?

These are questions that all of us have. And frequently, they arise in the evenings and weekends when your doctor is less available.

Adult Symptom Advisor Online and Pediatric Symptom Advisor Online are designed especially for these times. The topics help you make appropriate decisions on what level of medical care is needed and how to provide symptom relief for minor illnesses and injuries at home.

In an Emergency...

If you think that you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or the number for the local emergency ambulance service NOW!

And when in doubt, call your doctor NOW or go to the closest emergency department.

The "When to Call Your Doctor" Chart is provided for each topic. By using the decision chart and your common sense, you should be able to select one of the five following action (recommended response) categories:

  • Call 911 Now (you may need an ambulance)
  • Call Your Doctor Now (night or day)
  • Call Your Doctor Within 24 Hours (between 9 am and 4 pm)
  • Call Your Doctor During Weekday Office Hours
  • Parent Care at Home
