I’d suggest you call Los Angeles House call doctors. They are trained to diagnose your condition and provide the right treatment. Long term Effects: Over the counter medications are meant to be used to treat symptoms related to short term illnesses. Increased dosage of medicines can have serious health consequences.

You don’t have to wait for long hours at the waiting room, or worry about the infections because of exposure to sick patients. Besides, unlike the at-office treatment, doctors spend an average of forty five minutes to an hour to understand the patient’s condition. This helps in better diagnosis and treatment.
