When you call Healthline, you'll talk to a friendly clinician who will ask about your main concern and symptoms. Based on your answers, they'll recommend what to do next, such as visiting a doctor or going to the hospital. They may also ask for a photo or video to better understand your situation.
For less serious issues, we can guide you on self-care at home or direct you to nearby services like after-hours GPs, hospitals, pharmacies, or dental clinics.
