4 Reasons Why Ask DoctorBase is the Most Efficient Way to SEO and Establish Your Brand Online

  1. Ask DoctorBase is a free service for patients on the DoctorBase platform - currently servicing over 6 million American patients of record.
  2. All answers submitted by healthcare professionals (you) are for entertainment purposes only and do not constitute doctor-patient relationships. All patients must agree to this before using Ask DoctorBase.
  3. Our software and our Marketing Engineering staff review each answer and optimize your answers for keywords valuable to your specialty. It is a well kept secret that doctors (you) - not SEO consultants - are the ones who have the most valuable content prized by search engines. Ask DoctorBase "unlocks and optimizes" your content in the most efficient manner possible with today's technology.
  4. Finally, the doctor who provides the most popular answer - "the Featured Answer," gets an added benefit by allowing patients to write rave reviews about your expertise - reviews that are submitted to both Google and Google Local through our Preferred Data Provider relationship.

pregnancy illnesses

I'm currently pregnant I've been sick for the past three days Ive had a really bad cough, body aches, stuffy nose, headaches, and servere pain in my chest. I went to see my local OBGYN today and all they did was take my temp which was normal and said it must be my allergies, I've had issues with my allergies but its never been this bad, and I felt like I should get a second opinion and I don't currently have a family doctor so I was hoping this site could help?

It sounds like you might have more going on considering your symptoms. Do you have a local urgent care clinic where you can go get checked out?
Sounds like a viral infection - ALSO if you have not had your Flu vaccine - get it - it is highly recommended to get the flu vaccine when pregnant

You are right, I think a viral infection much more likely the cause. I think what your doctor's office was trying to tell you is that you suffer from something that is better treated with time than pharmaceuticals that could have an unknown effect on you and your baby. Don't worry, you should get to feeling better soon. If not, return to your doctor. Also, don't forget your flu shot. Very important for both of you!

Best of luck!
Your symptoms could be consistent with influenza. A swab test could tell you. Usually fever is involved with this, but not always. You could go to an urgent care clinic and be evaluated.
