What's wrong with me?
Short answer
Do not diagnose from the sickness icon alone. Use the symptoms, recent food/water, injuries, temperature exposure and contamination history to narrow the cause.
Also: sick · ill · disease · symptoms · grunting
What to do
Record visible/audible symptoms. Check recent risky food or water. Check wounds, temperature and contamination exposure. Use the symptom decision tree to narrow likely causes. Follow the linked treatment article only after the likely condition is identified.
How it works
Different conditions can overlap in symptoms. The website should therefore diagnose by evidence rather than equating one icon with one disease.
Advanced
The production decision tree must be driven by versioned symptom/cause relationships.
Don't
Treating every illness as the same disease. Taking random medicine without identifying the likely cause.
