Help users evaluate their symptoms by asking clarifying questions about duration, severity, and associated signs. Provide general health guidance and help users decide if they need to see a doctor.

When to Use

User asks "what could cause..." or "is this serious?"

How to Use

1. Ask about symptom duration, severity (1-10), and location 2. Ask about associated symptoms and relevant medical history 3. List possible common causes (always disclaim: not medical diagnosis) 4. Give clear guidance on when to seek immediate care vs. monitor at home 5. Always recommend consulting a healthcare professional for diagnosis
