Quick action checklist: For fungal infections, start with topical options for skin and see a doctor after two weeks if no improvement; consider oral terbinafine for toenail fungus but expect months of treatment and liver checkups. For billing issues, copy receipts, note dates and names, and send messages through both email and the app to create a paper trail. For HIV medication questions, bring a current med list and viral load records to appointments. For edema, track weights and salt intake and report breathlessness or swelling soon.
