Treatment of Acute and Common Chronic Illnesses

Illness can strike at any time, for any number of reasons. Whether your symptoms have suddenly come out of nowhere or you’re been feeling unwell for some time, Dr Gaffoor is able to assist you in the diagnosis, management and treatment of your condition.

Acute Illnesses

Acute illnesses are conditions which come on very suddenly. These include conditions like injuries, colds and flu, infections like bronchitis and pneumonia, insect bites and burns.

In order to treat your acute illness, Dr Gaffoor will need to see you for a consultation. During the consultation, he will examine you and ask you some questions about your symptoms, family history, recent activity and lifestyle. Once a diagnosis is made, he will offer you a treatment plan which may include medications and rest.

Chronic Illnesses

Chronic illnesses are conditions that tend to develop slowly over time. Most chronic conditions are not curable, but with the right advice, treatments and lifestyle, you can manage them and lead a more normal life.

Chronic conditions include diseases like COPD, Arthritis, Diabetes, and Heart Disease. There are also other conditions that are classified as Chronic, like High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Obesity and Anxiety Disorders.

When it comes to treating Chronic Illnesses, you may need a more intensive, long term plan. Thankfully, Dr Gaffoor is experienced in the treatment of chronic conditions and will manage your long term care with a highly personalised treatment plan to suit your unique needs.

Your treatment plan will likely include chronic medications, lifestyle changes and more regular medical checkups to ensure your condition continually improves and monitor any new symptoms that may arise.
