Caring for another person

This symptom checker is designed for use by yourself or someone you are with.

It may not be safe to use if the person you are enquiring for is not with you.

Before continuing with this questionnaire you need to make sure that:

  • the person is conscious and reacting to you normally, or
  • if they are asleep, that they react to gentle shaking.

If you are with the person and you can't get them to react in any way, dial 999 and ask for an ambulance.
