Do you search medical symptoms in Google? Then, this is for you
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,March 01 2018]
How many times have we looked to our pocket doctor aka Google to search for symptoms instead of visiting the doc’s office? (It’s okay, this is not a preachy medical post). However, folks at Google understand your dilemma and have introduced a new feature to help you hypochondriacs in hiding, only we’re not sure if it would be really helpful.
In a bid to offer information on commonly searched symptoms, the famous search engine Google has rolled out a new feature called the ‘Symptom Search’ in India. You just have to type in your symptom eg: ‘cough and cold’ and the search willl show a list of related conditons to your symptom. However, for individual symptoms, like just ‘headache’ you will be provided with an elaborate overview along with self treatment options.
Don’t say this to your doctor, he may not like it.
