It is possible to safely self-diagnose and treat certain serious illnesses at home. A variety of resources, such as online symptom checkers and chatbots, can be used to help diagnose illnesses. Self-isolation procedures, nutrition advice, lifestyle changes and home remedies can also be used to help treat an illness. However, it is important to understand that in some cases medical professional intervention may be required and the best way to reduce risk of infection is to practice preventive measures like social distancing.
