It is often hard to know which doctor to see. This list gives a general idea.
- Fever, diabetes, high blood pressure, general illness — Medicine specialist
- Chest pain, palpitations — Cardiologist
- Child illness — Pediatrician
- Pregnancy and women's health — Gynecologist
- Skin, hair and allergy — Dermatologist
- Bones, joints and back pain — Orthopedic specialist
If unsure, see a medicine specialist first — they will refer you if needed.
In an emergency (severe chest pain, breathing difficulty, fainting) go to the nearest emergency department or call 999 without delay.
