FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a cold and the flu?

A cold is mild, causing a runny nose and cough. The flu is more severe, with fever, body aches, fatigue, and complications like pneumonia.

Do antibiotics treat all types of infections?

No. Antibiotics only treat bacterial infections. They’re ineffective against viruses, like those causing colds, flu, or most sore throats.

What are some natural ways to treat headaches?

Headaches can be managed through healthy sleep, diet, exercise, yoga, meditation, and counseling. A balanced lifestyle helps reduce headache frequency and intensity.

What are the common health issues treated by general physicians?

General physicians treat respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, neurological, mental health, skin, urinary, and endocrine issues, offering broad care for various health concerns.

Do migraines cause strokes?

Not directly, but individuals with complicated migraines may have a slightly higher stroke risk. Lifestyle changes like controlling blood pressure can reduce that risk.

How often should I get a health check-up?

Health check-ups should generally be annual for adults, but frequency depends on age, medical history, lifestyle, and chronic conditions. Consult your healthcare provider for personalised advice.
