What can telemedicine do for you remotely? – Plenty!
Telehealth is often accessed by individuals in their home or work place, or while traveling domestically or internationally and staying in a campground, hotel or even a unique Airbnb! (Virtual health care while staying in an Airbnb)
Virtual video visits can evaluate and treat both acute (non-emergent) and chronic illness, and provide health counseling.
Individuals often access a video visit for a prescription refill of chronic medications, an acute infection (pink eye, stye, cough, sore throat, sinus infection, infected tattoo or piercing, an insect bite), a new or old rash, mental health or a men or women’s health issue.
If the condition requires a medication, prescriptions are instantaneously sent electronically to a pharmacy most convenient for you.
Laboratory studies, aka blood work may be ordered as well.
Not growing out of acne as anticipated can be defeating.
There are many safe and effective topical and oral medication treatments available for adult acne.
In my professional opinion, a personalized regimen is best as skin and acne types vary greatly as do the anticipated treatment responses.
Medical advice regarding traveling can be vast depending upon the individual and their health status, the route of travel planned, the accommodations whilst away, the activities planned, and the location(s) visited.
Consideration is given for vaccinations which might be reasonable for travel to specific endemic areas.
Prophylactic medications may be indicated if individuals are traveling to areas with high risk for travelers diarrhea and malaria.
The common cold is formally known as acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) and is most often a viral infection which will improve without a doctor’s intervention.
Sometimes however, cold symptoms can be a sign of something more problematic such as bacterial sinusitis or pneumonia necessitating a doctor’s intervention.
Many common women’s health conditions which are bothersome and even recurrent can be treated via telehealth.
