Answer

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.
