To check your symptoms, follow these easy steps:

Scripps Symptom Checker is available on both MyScripps.org and the MyScripps mobile app. You can download the free MyScripps app from the iPhone App Store or Android Google Play Store.
2) Launch Symptom Checker
Find it under Health in the main menu, then Medical Tools. (Launch directly from the main screen if you are using the app.)
3) Answer questions
Tell us about your current symptoms and health history.
Once you’ve entered this information, Symptom Checker will present you with recommendations. For mild conditions, it might recommend self-care strategies, such as home remedies or over-the-counter medicine. For other conditions, it might suggest that you see your primary care physician, come in to a HealthExpress location, or start a virtual E-Visit or Video Visit.
Note: Scripps Symptom Checker is not meant to provide a formal medical diagnosis. If you think your symptoms are serious, contact a medical professional as soon as possible.
