Common Conditions Treated in General Practice

Common Cold & Flu

Viral infections causing fever, congestion, sore throat, and body aches. A GP can assess severity, recommend treatment, and identify complications like secondary bacterial infections that may require antibiotics.

Urinary Tract Infections

Bacterial infections of the bladder or urethra causing burning during urination, frequent urges, and pelvic discomfort. Online consultations allow quick diagnosis and prescription of appropriate antibiotics.

High Blood Pressure

Chronically elevated blood pressure that increases risk of heart disease and stroke. Regular online follow-ups help monitor readings, adjust medications, and reinforce lifestyle modifications.

Immune system overreactions to pollen, dust, pet dander, or foods causing sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion. A GP can prescribe antihistamines, nasal sprays, or recommend allergy testing.

Musculoskeletal discomfort from strain, poor posture, or degenerative conditions. Online consultations allow initial assessment, pain management strategies, and referrals for imaging or physiotherapy when needed.

Skin Rashes & Infections

Eczema, fungal infections, contact dermatitis, and other skin conditions that can be visually assessed via video consultation. GPs can prescribe topical treatments or refer to a dermatologist.

Anxiety & Mild Depression

Mental health conditions causing persistent worry, low mood, or difficulty functioning. GPs provide initial assessment, prescribe first-line medications, and refer to psychiatrists when specialized care is needed.

Digestive Issues

Acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, and other gastrointestinal complaints. A GP can evaluate symptoms, recommend dietary changes, prescribe medications, and order relevant tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can a general practitioner treat during an online consultation?
A GP on GeraClinic can diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions including infections, allergies, chronic disease management, skin complaints, mental health concerns, digestive issues, and musculoskeletal pain. They can issue e-prescriptions, order lab tests, provide medical certificates, and refer you to specialists when needed. Video consultations are suitable for most conditions that do not require a physical examination with specialized equipment.
How do I prepare for an online GP consultation on GeraClinic?
Before your appointment, gather your medical history, a list of current medications, and any recent lab results or imaging reports. Write down your symptoms including when they started, their severity, and what makes them better or worse. Ensure you have a stable internet connection and are in a well-lit, private space. If you have a visible symptom like a rash, be prepared to show it on camera. Having a thermometer, blood pressure cuff, or pulse oximeter at home can provide helpful data for your doctor.
Can an online GP prescribe medications?
Yes, GeraClinic GPs can issue e-prescriptions for a wide range of medications including antibiotics, antihistamines, blood pressure medications, pain relievers, and many other treatments. The prescription is sent directly to your GeraClinic account and can be used at partner pharmacies. Some controlled substances and certain medication classes may require an in-person visit depending on local regulations in your country.
When should I visit a GP in person instead of online?
You should seek an in-person visit or emergency care if you experience chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden severe headache, signs of stroke, severe allergic reactions, high fever unresponsive to medication, or any condition requiring immediate physical examination. For conditions like abdominal pain requiring palpation, ear infections requiring otoscope examination, or injuries needing X-rays, your online GP may recommend an in-person follow-up after the initial telemedicine assessment.
How much does an online GP consultation cost on GeraClinic?
Consultation fees vary by country and practitioner. GeraClinic displays transparent pricing before you book, so you always know the cost upfront. Many practitioners offer competitive rates compared to in-person visits, and you save additional time and travel costs. Some insurance plans cover telemedicine consultations, and GeraClinic provides detailed receipts for reimbursement claims.
Can I get a referral to a specialist through an online GP visit?
Absolutely. Your GeraClinic GP can assess your condition and provide a referral to any specialist available on the platform, including cardiologists, dermatologists, endocrinologists, and more. The referral includes your consultation notes and medical history, ensuring continuity of care. You can often book the specialist appointment directly on GeraClinic, sometimes even on the same day.
Is an online GP consultation suitable for children?
Yes, GeraClinic GPs can provide pediatric consultations for common childhood illnesses including colds, ear infections, rashes, allergies, and behavioral concerns. A parent or guardian must be present during the consultation for patients under 18. For newborns or infants under 3 months with fever, or any child showing signs of serious illness, seek immediate in-person medical attention.
How are my medical records handled on GeraClinic?
All consultation notes, prescriptions, lab results, and medical documents are stored securely in your encrypted GeraClinic health record. You can access your complete medical history anytime, share it with other doctors on the platform, or download it for external use. GeraClinic complies with international data protection standards including GDPR and UK-GDPR safeguards, ensuring your health data remains private and secure.
