With the rise of COVID-19, common symptoms that we often brush off are put in the spotlight. The implications are severe since a simple cough can now mean hospitalization, isolation of the whole household, or worse, loss of a loved one.
Online consultations have spiked due to the demand for better care. Now more than ever, the need for more modern and convenient medical attention has exposed gaping holes in the health care system.
This fear during the pandemic, fuelled by the lack of access to medical care, widespread testing, effective preventive measures, and a definite cure early on, drove patients and doctors alike to cling to anything that can resolve these symptoms as soon as possible; pressuring patients to self-medicate and physicians to overprescribe with antibiotics, among other treatment options.
