Do I need to be seen?
For a lot of common illnesses and ailments, there is no specific cure and they will be relieved with time and simple remedies available without prescription. Therefore, please do not expect your Doctor to prescribe a drug for every problem. Discussion and advice may be far more useful and free from side effects.
For Further Help for minor ailments, please see:
