Note: Telehealth is not suitable for medical emergencies. If you experience chest pain, severe shortness of breath, or a persistently high fever, confusion, fainting, severe weakness, a stiff neck, a rapidly worsening rash, or signs of sepsis, call 000 or visit the nearest emergency department. Seek urgent medical care if you have UTI symptoms with fever, back or side pain, nausea, vomiting, pregnancy, or you are very unwell.
