It is recommended to see a GP for any health symptom that does not require urgent care, for routine check-ups, or for the management of chronic conditions. A GP is also the appropriate professional to consult when experiencing non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, persistent pain, weight changes, or general discomfort.
The GP acts as the first point of contact with the healthcare system, guiding diagnosis and referring to a specialist when necessary. Consulting early helps detect health problems at an initial stage and improve prognosis.
The GP plays a key role in managing chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, respiratory diseases (asthma or COPD), thyroid problems, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases.
Regular follow-up allows treatments to be adjusted, complications to be prevented, and the patient’s quality of life to be improved. In addition, health education is provided to promote healthy habits such as a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and smoking cessation.
Effective management in primary care reduces hospitalisations and improves long-term health outcomes.
A GP can request a variety of diagnostic tests depending on the patient’s symptoms and medical history. The most common include blood and urine tests, electrocardiograms, X-rays, ultrasounds, and preventive screening tests.
These tests help detect diseases, monitor treatments, and enable early diagnosis. If necessary, the GP can also refer the patient to other specialists for more specific investigations.
The GP’s comprehensive assessment helps avoid unnecessary tests and optimise the diagnostic process.
To ease the symptoms of a cold or flu, simple measures can be used, such as staying well hydrated, performing nasal washes with saline solution, using a humidifier, and taking medication for fever or pain if necessary.
Rest is essential to allow the immune system to fight the infection. A light diet and avoiding sudden changes in temperature can also help. If there is severe nasal congestion or persistent cough, the GP may recommend specific treatments.
A common cold usually lasts between 5 and 7 days, although some symptoms, such as cough or nasal congestion, may persist for 10–14 days. Flu can cause more intense symptoms (high fever, muscle aches, significant fatigue) and typically lasts between 7 and 10 days, with a gradual recovery.
If symptoms last longer than expected, worsen, or if signs such as difficulty breathing, persistent fever, or chest pain appear, it is important to consult a healthcare professional to rule out complications.
No. Flu and colds are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections. Taking antibiotics without medical advice does not speed up recovery and can cause side effects and antibiotic resistance.
Only in specific cases, where bacterial complications arise, may a GP consider their use. This is why it is important to avoid self-medication and always follow professional guidance.
