Main North Road Medical Centre

Are you feeling unwell?
Most viral illnesses do not require antibiotics and will improve on their own. However, please contact the Medical Centre for advice or an appointment if:

• Your symptoms are getting worse rather than gradually improving.

• You have been unwell for more than 7–10 days without improvement.

• Your fever is persistent, very high, or returns after initially settling.

• You develop shortness of breath, wheezing or difficulty breathing.

• You have chest pain, particularly when breathing or coughing.

• Your cough is becoming significantly worse or you are coughing up blood.

• You are unable to keep fluids down, are passing much less urine than usual, or have other signs of dehydration.

• You have persistent vomiting or diarrhoea.

• You develop significant ear pain, sinus/facial pain or a severe sore throat.

• You initially started to recover but then become significantly unwell again.

• You have a long-term medical condition such as asthma, COPD, heart disease, diabetes or kidney disease and your usual symptoms are worsening.

• You are pregnant, immunocompromised, elderly or otherwise at increased risk of complications.

• You are concerned about a baby or young child, particularly if they are feeding poorly, have fewer wet nappies, are unusually sleepy or their breathing has changed.

• You are worried about your symptoms or feel that something isn't right.

​

If you are attending the Medical Centre with cough, fever, sore throat, runny nose or other respiratory symptoms, please let our reception team know when booking. We may ask you to wear a mask or wait in a designated area to help protect other patients, particularly babies, older people and people with weakened immune systems.
 

Call 111 or seek urgent medical help if you or the person you are caring for has severe difficulty breathing, severe chest pain, blue or grey lips or skin, new confusion, is difficult to wake, collapses, has a seizure, or is rapidly becoming very unwell.
