Other related questions

Telemedicine and video visits, in particular, can be used to diagnose and treat a surprisingly wide range of conditions. At the very least, you can start with a telehealth visit and later be routed to other medical services if needed. A small sampling of conditions telehealth services can evaluate and treat include:

  1. Anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns
  2. Back pain
  3. Colds, flu and allergies
  4. Diabetes management
  5. Earache
  6. Heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
  7. Infections, including conjunctivitis (pink eye), sinus infections, and urinary tract infection (UTI) or bladder infection
  8. Migraine
  9. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
  10. Respiratory infections, including evaluating symptoms of COVID-19
  11. Skin rashes, burns, insect bites, scrapes, cuts, and abrasions
  12. Sports injuries, like a sprained ankle or possible broken bones

In some cases, your healthcare provider will order additional tests (urinalysis for suspected UTI, for example, or X-rays for a suspected broken bone). Other times they can make a diagnosis on-the-spot and prescribe medications, like antibiotics, during the telehealth visit.

You should never use telehealth services for suspected medical emergencies. For signs of heart attack or stroke, trouble breathing, head trauma, loss of consciousness, or other urgent conditions, always call 911 for immediate medical assistance.

eGlobalDoctors give a second opinion or provide Telemedicine to make a comprehensive plan for management of your condition or disease. If your condition only needs medication we will transmit the prescription (written by a licensed physician) of required medication to close by or your preferred pharmacy . But if your condition requires any sort of procedure, then you will work with our network doctors or give you guidance where to go for the procedure. Medical procedures obviously require a person-to-person interaction with a healthcare provider, but the telehealth visit can get you started down the right path to receive right management and the intervention if you need.

eGlobalDoctors is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year, even on holidays. Use eGlobalDoctors anytime you have a non-emergency medical condition, are unable to see your primary care provider, or when you simply prefer a convenient, cost effective alternative to the emergency room, urgent care center, or clinic.
