Urgent illness treatment and diagnosis is often much easier with an online physician. Patients can choose a doctor from a list of qualified specialists waiting to connect with them via a scheduled appointment time. Some are even available immediately with no waiting necessary at all, which is much more convenient than sitting for hours in a waiting room. It is also healthier since patients do not have to be exposed to so many germs from other ill patients as they would in a traditional doctor’s office. Most importantly though, online physicians can treat everything from a general illness to more pressing urgent care medical conditions whenever a person needs help.
Seeing an online doctor through a virtual appointment for general illness treatment and diagnosis is just like visiting any doctor for treatment. They will ask you questions regarding your medical symptoms and any conditions that you might have, and after you describe the problem, they will make a diagnosis.

Most virtual appointments only last about ten minutes, but if a person needs more time, they can always request it.
Depending on a person’s diagnosis, the doctor will make a recommendation for the treatment of the illness. For conditions such as a sprained ankle or wrist, the patient might be advised to rest the injury, and alternately apply warm and cold compresses until the swelling goes down. But, for any condition involving infection, such as a bladder or ear infection, an antibiotic might be prescribed. The doctor will call a pharmacy of your choice, so you can go in person to pick up your medication. All prescriptions are paid for at the pharmacy. The doctor never charges for them.
Obviously, there are some illnesses that cannot be treated by a physician through an online appointment. Those that require specialized testing require a visit in person. However, some of the illnesses that can be treated via an online appointment include:
