Criteria where it is necessary to seek medical help (not necessarily to a hospital) are difficulty breathing, chest pain or pressure, confusion or inability to wake up and cyanosis of the lips or face. A patient who is hospitalized should go to a hospital when his blood oxygen saturation is less than 93% or if he suffers from vomiting (more than three times a day) or diarrhea (more than six times a day). Patients with a range of common chronic diseases are at risk for a serious illness, so consideration should be given to referring them to a hospital in any case of exacerbation.
