Serious sickness has not yet taken full hold. Some people begin badly by either neglecting to take care of themselves or attempting self treatment. Unless they are lucky, sickness time is prolonged and sometimes life, itself, is endangered. A quicker, happier ending to any sickness is almost assured if you cons u l t y o u r p h y s i c i a n quickly and take the specific medicines he may prescribe for your particular trouble.
