Do you self-diagnose and self-medicate when you’re ill?  I’m guilty too, sometimes.   We may have the same reasons too - when it’s just minor ailments like some body aches, fever, cough or cold I just don’t find it practical enough to seek doctor’s advice. Cures for Ailments, I suppose, can easily be obtained from the backyard or over the counter.

But lately I’m having a different stance.   When my 3-year-old niece, Ayessa, had a fever last month, my brother thought it was ordinary and that it would go away after a while with any paracetamol.   It was almost too late when they rushed her to the hospital and found out it was Dengue attacking her.   Her platelets dropped to less than 60 and got us all scared and sleepless.   I don’t think I will ever be lenient again when it comes to ailments, even as common as a fever.    I don’t mean to be paranoid but I’d say I better be on guard especially when symptoms persist, like a recurring headache or some memory lapses.  What if there’s something nasty behind them?
