Coughs, colds, sore throat, sinus and chest infections — examined in clinic to distinguish viral from bacterial illness, so treatment is matched to the cause rather than given by default.
Common cold, sinusitis, pharyngitis and tonsillitis — symptom relief, throat examination and antibiotics only where there are signs of bacterial infection.
Testing where it would change management, antiviral treatment for eligible patients, isolation advice and vaccination guidance for the future.
Bronchitis and pneumonia — chest examination and oxygen saturation in clinic, chest X-ray referral when needed, and hospital referral for anyone unwell enough to need it.
Inhaler technique and medication review, nebulised treatment in clinic where required, and a written action plan for future episodes.
Breathlessness at rest, chest pain, a high fever that is not settling, confusion or blue lips need emergency assessment — go to the nearest A&E or call 995.
Most colds settle on their own within a week to ten days. See a doctor if fever persists beyond three days, if you are breathless, coughing blood or wheezing, if symptoms improve then worsen again, or if you are pregnant, elderly or managing a long-term condition.
No. Inflexion Clinic is a private GP clinic, so you can book directly. Book online, call the clinic on +65 8997 0659, or walk in during opening hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10:00 am to 6:30 pm, Saturday and Sunday 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. Closed on Wednesdays and public holidays.
Only if examination suggests a bacterial infection. Most coughs and colds are viral, where antibiotics do not help and carry side effects. The doctor examines you, explains the likely cause, and treats symptoms where antibiotics are not appropriate.
Our clinicians will take a proper history, examine you, and give you a clear plan on the day.
