What Counts as a Minor Illness?
Minor illnesses are common, usually self-limited conditions that can be unpleasant but are rarely serious. Examples frequently seen in GP practice include:
Coughs, colds and sore throat
Earache and sinus symptoms
Hay fever and allergic symptoms
Minor skin rashes, insect bites and eczema
Digestive issues (nausea, diarrhoea, indigestion)
Headaches and muscle aches
Urinary symptoms (e.g. uncomplicated UTI)
Conjunctivitis and minor eye complaints
However, if you are dealing with more severe medical conditions or emergencies, we recommend seeking immediate assistance at your local accident and emergency (A&E) department for urgent care. Some serious concerns that require A&E include:
- Severe blood loss.
- Suspected fractures or broken bones.
- Sudden vision loss.
- Sudden severe headache
- Seizures or severe neurological symptoms.
- Poisoning or ingestion of harmful substances.
- Presence of foreign objects in the body.
- Persistent chest pain or breathing difficulties.
