Ask HealthWiky

Ask a health question in your own words. You will get a short answer in simple English, built from HealthWiky's own pages, with links so you can read more.

What Ask HealthWiky will not do

  • It will not tell you what you have. It cannot examine you or see your test results, so it will never name your condition.
  • It will not tell you what dose to take. That depends on your body and your history, and it is your doctor's decision.
  • It will not tell you to start or stop a medicine.
  • It is not for emergencies. If something feels seriously wrong, go to your nearest hospital or call 112 instead of typing here.

How it works

Ask HealthWiky does not search the whole internet. It looks through the pages on this site, picks the ones that match your question, and uses only those to write a short answer. That is why every answer shows the pages it came from — you can open them and check for yourself.

If HealthWiky does not have a page on your topic yet, it will say so rather than guess.

Prefer to look for a page by name? Use keyword search instead, or browse diseases, medicines, symptoms and medical tests.
