In instances when a health condition is non life-threatening it is best to call your primary care physician (PCP). PCPs can typically advise you and recommend treatment over the phone based on your symptoms. Everyone should establish care with a PCP and see them regularly. This physician relationship will enable one doctor to be your health advocate and he/she will become familiar with your medical history, medications and treatments. Another added benefit of having a PCP is that they are generally available 24 hours a day or have colleagues on call to answer your questions anytime.
