Common symptoms, which indicate sickness are:
(i) Headache,
(ii) Cough and
(iii) Loose motion.
Yes, even if only one symptom is present, I would still visit a doctor.
A single symptom can be an early sign of a serious disease. Delaying treatment might allow the illness to worsen. For example:
- A headache might indicate meningitis or high blood pressure.
- A persistent cough could lead to lung infections or pneumonia.
- Diarrhea can cause severe dehydration, which may be life-threatening.
