A General Physician is a medical doctor who is trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of common health problems. They are usually the first point of contact for patients and handle illnesses such as fever, infections, diabetes, high blood pressure (BP), cough, cold, and other basic health conditions. They also guide patients about prevention and overall health care.

A Consultant General Physician is an experienced doctor who manages more complex and difficult medical cases. They carefully evaluate patients, make detailed diagnoses, and create proper treatment plans. If a condition is beyond their scope, they also refer patients to appropriate medical specialists for further care and advanced treatment.

They treat a wide variety of diseases including common infections, viral fever, cold and flu, asthma, diabetes, hypertension (high BP), stomach and digestive issues, allergies, and other general health-related problems. They also help manage long-term chronic diseases and monitor patient recovery over time.

You should consult a General Physician if you experience persistent fever, unexplained weakness, breathing problems, frequent infections, or symptoms that do not improve with basic treatment. They are also important for regular check-ups, managing chronic illnesses, and early diagnosis of serious health conditions.

A A General Practitioner (GP) mainly handles basic and routine medical problems, while a Consultant General Physician has higher medical training and experience. Consultant Physicians deal with more complicated, severe, or hospital-based cases and provide advanced medical evaluation and treatment planning.
