It is not safe to wait at home with every illness. The symptoms below are urgent warning signs.
Chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, the lips or face turning blue, or loss of consciousness — if you see any of these, go to hospital at once.
Excessive bleeding, repeated vomiting, signs of dehydration, severe abdominal pain or swelling of the abdomen call for urgent evaluation.
If a child has convulsions, unusual drowsiness, is unable to eat, passes less urine, or has a high fever, seek medical care quickly.
In cases of poisoning, snake bite, a serious head injury, a broken bone or a burn, emergency treatment comes first.
