Everybody develops new health problems sometimes. Often, these problems are familiar and not especially worrying. When you wake up with a slightly sore throat or get a mild headache after a long, busy day, for example, the chances are that you’ve already had this kind of thing before and you know instinctively what to do about it. You probably wait for a few days to see what happens, and in the meantime you might take some painkillers to help ease your symptoms.
But what if your sore throat doesn’t settle? What if your headache gets worse rather than better? And what if you develop other additional symptoms such as vomiting or a fever? At some stage, you’re likely to start worrying about your symptoms and start thinking what to do next, and whether you should seek medical advice.
Finding answers to these types of questions can be difficult. Your nan may have given you answers and advice on home remedies in the past, and yes, one of your friends might have spoken about a particular ‘catch-all cure’ for headaches. But then you remember that a distant relative of yours became seriously ill once because he ignored his health symptoms for too long, and so you begin to wonder whether it’s safe to ignore your own symptoms. That’s where this book comes in. |
