Symptom Checker

The Drugs.com symptom checker will show a list of possible conditions related to your symptoms. However, it is important to understand this not an actual diagnosis.

Getting started

• Begin by entering symptoms that best describe your current condition.
• Symptoms can be entered in your own words or chosen from the list of matching suggestions; select the most appropriate.
• If no suggestions appear, double-check your spelling or use different words to describe your symptoms.
• See an example for a 35-year-old man from the US who is currently experiencing headache, a fever and a sore throat.

Useful Tips

• Use medical language as much as possible when entering symptoms. For example, "abdominal pain" is better than "belly hurts".
• Start with entering the area of the body affected, then the symptom. For example "abdominal pain" instead of "pain in abdomen".
• Use text, not numbers. For example, enter "high blood pressure" instead of "BP 150/90".
• Enter only abnormal test results, for example "low iron". Do not enter tests that you have been told are normal.
• If you have recently travelled abroad, you may be affected by a disease more common in that region. In this case, select the country where you were travelling.
