Some of my favorites:

• “Doctor sahab bas drip laga dein theek ho jaunga”

• Googled symptoms = 2 hours later: “mujhe lagta hai cancer hai”

• Antibiotics as if they’re Panadol

• “Injection laga dein jaldi asar karega” (placebo goes fr)

But jokes aside, half of these habits actually make things worse.

If you’ve ever self-diagnosed or delayed going to a doctor, what was the reason? Curious to hear real stories.

Also, if anyone has a weird/embarrassing health question, you can ask here or DM. No judging 😄
