Several times recently I have seen people on here requesting medical advice and wwyd type questions for pretty serious complaints. Surely any adult with any sense wouldn't ask people on here to diagnose breathing difficulties in a young child etc.
It is worrying how people come on here for advice from people with non medical qualification. 'Oh yes I'm sure...half an onion on the chest and he'll be fine' etc.
Am I the only one who thinks that the only response to potentially serious conditions is seek medical advice be it an appointment,OOH,a & e.
People please think carefully before offering advice.
