When do you stop researching the internet, and actually call your doctor? Well, let your common sense guide you. If you’re in doubt – make the call. But we can find help on the internet.
For example, The Mayo Clinic has a useful website. Let’s say you have a fever. Go to their web site and click on the “medical information” link. You’ll get an list of alphabetized medical conditions. Click on fever and you’ll go to a page that defines fever. Then click on “symptoms,” and you’ll go to a page that lists them, and tells you when you should see a doctor.
Any sudden, severe, or persistent pain should prompt you to seek care. New symptoms, or ones that get worse or won’t go away also warrant a call to your doctor. Tell your doctor if your body is not responding to medication.

in my eye, medical help on internet is not legal as law here, in USA, need face-to-face diagnosis.
