When NOT to Book a Home Visit — Call 112

Most fevers are manageable at home with a doctor's examination. Certain combinations of symptoms need a hospital straight away.

• Severe chest pain, pressure or tightness
• Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, or slurred speech
• Fainting or loss of consciousness
• Severe or rapidly worsening breathlessness
• Heavy bleeding that will not stop
• Major trauma — a serious fall, road accident or head injury
• A fever with a stiff neck, severe headache or confusion
• A fever in a baby under 3 months old
• Fever with repeated vomiting and an inability to keep fluids down

If any of the above applies, call 112 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department immediately. Home visits are not a substitute for emergency services.

Preparing for the Visit

• Note the exact temperature and when the fever started
• Track any pattern — does it spike at a particular time of day?
• Note other symptoms: rash, joint pain, vomiting or loose motions
• Keep any fever-reducing medicine already given, and when, noted down
• Have drinking water nearby to encourage fluids before and after the visit

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How is fever treatment at home different from a regular doctor visit?

It's the same qualified doctor and examination, just focused on fever specifically — the doctor checks your temperature pattern, looks for the likely cause, and decides whether a blood test is needed the same visit.

When does a fever need a blood test rather than just medicine?

If the fever is high, lasts more than two to three days, or has features suggesting dengue, malaria or typhoid, the doctor may advise a same-visit blood sample collection.

Is monsoon fever treated differently?

The doctor examines you the same way, but during monsoon months is more likely to check specifically for dengue and malaria symptoms given how common they are in Mumbai at that time.

My child has a fever — is this the same service as the paediatrician visit?

Yes, a child's fever is handled by our paediatric-trained doctors using the same booking process. You can also book directly through our paediatrician page.

What about fever in an elderly parent?

The doctor examines elderly patients with extra attention to dehydration and any existing conditions, and can coordinate with our elderly care service for follow-up.

Can the doctor prescribe fever-reducing medicine on the spot?

Yes, for a stable fever the doctor can prescribe medicine immediately after the examination. You will still need to collect it from a pharmacy.

How long does a fever usually take to settle?

This depends entirely on the cause. The doctor will give you a realistic expectation and tell you when to call back if it isn't improving.

Should I book a blood test alongside the fever visit?

If the fever has lasted more than two to three days, or the doctor suspects something like dengue or malaria, they may recommend a test — this can be arranged for the same visit.
