Dr. Lewis, medical scientist, discusses when to make a call to or see your doctor. It very much depends upon your symptoms, which are also discussed. The CDC has extensive guidance on when to call your doctor versus staying at home and isolating yourself. If you have a fever or cough, you might have COVID-19. Most people have mild illness and are able to recover at home. Keep track of your symptoms. If you have an emergency warning sign (including trouble breathing), get medical attention right away. Stay home except to get medical care. Most people with COVID-19 have mild illness and are able to recover at home without medical care. Do not leave your home, except to get medical care. Do not visit public areas. Stay in touch with your doctor. Call before you get medical care. Be sure to get care if you have trouble breathing, or have any other emergency warning signs, or if you think it is an emergency. Finally, your best treatment is your own health. Dr. Lewis discusses the high mortality and probable frequency of severe symptoms if you have underlying health conditions or are immunocompromised.
