If a Certificate Isn't Issued
The doctor signs only what your details support. If they can't issue one, they'll explain why and suggest what to do next, such as seeing a doctor in person.
Ambala Cantt in January
A salesperson at a Sadar Bazaar shop wakes up with a fever and sore throat in January. The cold and fog have been brutal, and they can barely swallow. The owner wants a certificate for three days. They apply, describe the symptoms and the dates.
The doctor asks about breathing, swallowing fluids and whether there are white patches on the throat. With no warning signs, they issue a certificate for the days their symptoms support and suggest warm fluids and rest. If they couldn't swallow water, the doctor would have advised seeing someone in person.
Getting Well in Winter
- Keep warm, especially your feet and chest
- Gargle with warm salt water for a sore throat
- Drink warm water, soups and tea with ginger
- Avoid heaters burning coal or wood in closed rooms
- See a doctor in person if a high fever lasts more than three days
