Why would I call the REMSA Nurse Health Line?
Some health care problems may seem minor, yet it is often hard to know what to do. The problems could be like these:
- I twisted my ankle. Are the symptoms I’m having likely to mean it’s broken or just sprained?
- The baby has been crying all night and won’t eat. How do I know if he’s teething or if it is something worse?
- How do I treat a fever? Is my fever serious?
- My nose has been running and I have a bad headache. How do I know if it’s simply allergies or if it’s gotten worse like a sinus infection? How do I know if I need antibiotics?
- I’m taking care of a family member with dementia. I’m worried that she can’t tell me she’s feeling sick. What signs should I look for?
- What could this rash be? Is it Chicken Pox? Or an allergy?
I have insurance, but I am not sure where I can be seen.
