Plumora Family Chamber (demo)
A doctor who listens first
I am Dr. Rumana Ahsan, a general physician. For seven years I have looked after families in a neighbourhood chamber: fevers and coughs, women’s health questions, children’s illnesses and skin problems.
I take time to hear the whole story, explain what I find in plain words and only ask for the tests that are really needed.
Dr. Rumana Ahsan

When to see a doctor
Pick a problem. See what you can do at home first, and the signs that mean you should go to hospital now.
Fever
Most fevers settle in a few days with rest and fluids.
Home care first
Rest and drink plenty of fluids: water, ORS, soup.
Paracetamol only as the label says for your age and weight.
Wear light clothes; sponge with lukewarm water.
Write down the temperature morning and evening.
Go to hospital now if…
Stiff neck, severe headache, confusion or a fit
Difficulty breathing or chest pain
Bleeding gums or nose, black stools, or a rash that does not fade when pressed
Severe belly pain, repeated vomiting or very little urine
In dengue season, avoid aspirin and ibuprofen-type painkillers unless a doctor says so. See a doctor if fever lasts more than 3 days.
Child fever
Watch how the child behaves, not only the thermometer.
Home care first
Keep giving breast milk or fluids in small, frequent sips.
Paracetamol syrup by the child’s weight, as the label or your doctor says.
Light clothes; do not wrap the child in blankets.
Let the child rest and offer light food.
Go to hospital now if…
A baby under 3 months with 38°C (100.4°F) or more
A fit, or the child is very drowsy or hard to wake
Fast or difficult breathing
Will not drink, or far fewer wet nappies than usual
A rash that does not fade when pressed with a glass
Never give aspirin to children.
Chest pain
Treat new chest pain as serious until a doctor says otherwise.
While you get help
Stop what you are doing and sit down.
Loosen tight clothing and stay calm.
Do not drive yourself to hospital.
Mild pain after a strain that hurts when you press the spot: rest, then get it checked.
Go to hospital now if…
Heavy, pressing or squeezing pain lasting more than a few minutes
Pain spreading to the arm, jaw, neck or back
Sweating, breathlessness, nausea or fainting with the pain
Sudden severe pain, especially with diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease
Call 999 or go to the nearest hospital with an emergency department. Do not wait to see if it passes.
Burns
Cool water in the first minutes matters most.
Home care first
Hold the burn under cool running tap water for 20 minutes.
Take off rings, watches and tight clothing near the burn.
Cover loosely with cling film or a clean, non-fluffy cloth.
Paracetamol for pain, as the label says.
Go to hospital now if…
Larger than the person’s palm, or deep (white, charred or painless)
On the face, hands, feet, genitals or across a joint
Chemical or electrical burns
A burn in a baby, child, older person or pregnant woman
Cough, hoarse voice or breathing trouble after smoke
No toothpaste, butter, oil or ice on a burn, and do not burst blisters.
Cuts & bleeding
Firm, steady pressure stops most bleeding.
Home care first
Press firmly with a clean cloth for 10 minutes without lifting it.
When bleeding stops, rinse under clean running water.
Cover with a clean dressing and keep it dry.
Watch for redness, swelling, pus or fever in the next days.
Go to hospital now if…
Bleeding that does not stop after 10 minutes of firm pressure
A deep or gaping wound, or something stuck in it
An animal or human bite
Numbness, or cannot move the fingers or toes
Do not pull out an object stuck deep in a wound; pad around it and go to hospital. Ask about a tetanus injection for dirty wounds.
Diarrhoea
Replace the water the body loses, a little at a time.
Home care first
ORS after every loose stool, mixed exactly as the packet says.
Keep breastfeeding babies; keep eating light, normal food.
Zinc for children, as long as a doctor or health worker advises.
Wash hands with soap and drink safe water.
Go to hospital now if…
Blood in the stool
Very sleepy, sunken eyes, very dry mouth or no urine for many hours
Cannot keep any fluid down, or vomits again and again
High fever, or a baby with a sunken soft spot on the head
Do not make ORS stronger than the packet says; make a fresh mix as the packet advises.
