Acute illness refers to health conditions that arise suddenly, have distinct symptoms, and occur over a short duration, typically lasting less than three months. Some illnesses may resolve on their own with home care, but many cases require medical intervention to prevent serious complications.

2. Common Causes of Acute Illness

Acute illnesses can be caused by various factors, including:

• Infections: Bacteria, viruses, or fungi (e.g., pneumonia, dengue fever, influenza).
• Physical Injuries: Resulting from accidents, collisions, or trauma (e.g., fractures, traumatic brain injury).
• Allergic Reactions: Triggered by food, medications, or other allergens.
• Autoimmune Disorders: Such as acute rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.

3. Common Symptoms of Acute Illness

Symptoms of acute illness can vary depending on the cause and type of illness, but they often include:

• High fever
• Severe pain (headache, chest pain, abdominal pain)
• Shortness of breath or chest tightness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Diarrhea or constipation
• Loss of consciousness in severe cases

4. Treatment Methods for Acute Illness

Depending on the underlying cause, doctors may prescribe different treatment methods:

• Medications: Antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, pain relievers.
• Home Care: Rest, hydration, dietary adjustments.
• Medical Intervention: For serious cases such as respiratory failure, severe pneumonia, or trauma.

Wellcare offers online consultations for those with acute illnesses, allowing you to connect with skilled doctors remotely and receive timely advice.

Some mild acute illnesses like the common cold, flu, or sore throat can be managed with home care. However, if the condition does not improve after a few days or worsens, you should consult a doctor.

With Wellcare, doctors can provide consultations and prescribe medication online for suitable cases after assessing through the telemedicine system.
