Fever & Infections
Fever can occur with several illnesses. Evaluation considers the duration, other symptoms and medical history to determine the appropriate next steps.
When to seek medical attention
Seek urgent medical attention for breathing difficulty, confusion, severe weakness or signs of dehydration. A clinician can advise whether further testing or treatment is appropriate.

Consultation can include reviewing repeated blood pressure readings, current medication and individual risk factors, alongside discussion of suitable lifestyle measures and follow-up.
Chronic Liver Disease
Long-term liver conditions can have a range of causes. Medical evaluation helps clarify symptoms, relevant risk factors and whether further investigation is needed.
Evaluation & ongoing care
Assessment may include medical and medication history, examination and suitable investigations. Ongoing management or referral depends on the cause and severity.
Alcohol-Related Liver Disease
Alcohol use can affect liver health. A non-judgemental medical conversation can help assess possible concerns and discuss appropriate care.
