Parkway Shenton Symptom Checker
Enter your symptoms into our Symptom Checker, find out what's's causing them and your next steps in seeking treatment.
Headache, stomach pain, dry cough, drowsiness – is it a cold or something else? Should you continue to observe or go see a doctor?
Symptoms are confusing. They can come on rapidly, even be something you’ve never experienced before, last for weeks, or cause alarm, yet turn out to be nothing at all. Worse, they can occur any time of day, even in the middle of the night!
A study1 reported up to 74% of respondents turning to the internet first for questions about their symptoms. But these days, anyone can upload popular content that is not fact-checked. One click could skew your search results towards a rabbit hole of misinformation and give you more anxiety than answers.
To provide a 24/7 remote solution to your concerns, Parkway Shenton brings you a Symptom Checker available through our website and MyHealth360 app, that combines our deep base of knowledge and expertise, with the convenience of an online search.
As we celebrate 50 years of patient care in 2023, we continue to evolve our services while staying true to our commitment of delivering quality care that promotes healthier, fuller lives.
