• sunburn or minor burns,
• insect bites without other clinical signs,
• minor cuts,
• colds, cough, sore throat,
• fever without convulsion for an adult,
• itching,
• STD

On the other hand, it is essential to go to the emergency room – which can also in some countries be in a dedicated medical center – in these cases:

• loss of consciousness,
• signs of a heart attack or stroke including limb paralysis,
• major head injuries for example,
• continuous bleeding,
• animal bites which may require rapid injection against rabies,
• sudden and severe pain,
• breathing problems, poisoning,
• vomiting blood and if you feel that you need to seek medical help urgently.
