cURL error Types – Could not resolve host/This Knowledge Base article provides the meanings for some common Lib curl messages that you might see with ePolicy Orchestrator, McAfee Agent, or Rogue System Detection.

Note that McAfee Agent uses the libcurl library to establish its connection to the Agent Handler. So, many ASCI sessions fail with a curl error code.

Lib curl MessageMeaning
Curl_OK (0)Normal operation
CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL (1)The URL you passed to Lib curl used a protocol that Lib curl does not support
CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY (5)Could not resolve the proxy. The given proxy host could not be resolved

CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT (28)Operation timeout. The specified time-out period was reached according to the conditions.
CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR (35)A problem occurred somewhere in the SSL/TLS handshake. Review the error buffer and read the message which provides more detail. Possibly down to certificates (file formats, paths, permissions, passwords.
CURLE_GOT_NOTHING (52)Nothing was returned from the server. This error is considered an error
CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_NOTFOUND (53)The specified crypto engine was not found
CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_SETFAILED (54)Failed while setting the selected SSL crypto engine as default
CURLE_SEND_ERROR (55)Failure while sending network data

NOTE: For a complete list of CURL error codes, see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html

Problem

The following are examples of the errors you see in the log files for the relevant McAfee product:
ERROR RSDSensor.ServerCom <> – There was an error connecting to the server ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ curl error=SSL connect error (35)

ERROR RSDSensor.ServerCom <> – There was an error connecting to the server ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ curl error=Server returned nothing (no headers, no data) (52)

There was a problem on the remote command execution. cURL exit code: 51

Macmnsvc(3936.384) network.Error: URL(https://10.x.x.x:80/Software//SiteStat.xml) request, failed with curl error 23, Response 200

CURLcode

Almost all “easy” interface functions return a CURLcode error code. No matter what, using the curl_easy_setopt option CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER is a good idea as it will give you a human readable error string that may offer more details about the cause of the error than just the error code. curl_easy_strerror can be called to get an error string from a given CURLcode number.

CURLcode is one of the following:

CURLE_OK (0)

All fine. Proceed as usual.

CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL (1)

The URL you passed to libcurl used a protocol that this libcurl does not support. The support might be a compile-time option that you didn’t use, it can be a misspelled protocol string or just a protocol libcurl has no code for.

CURLE_FAILED_INIT (2)

Very early initialization code failed. This is likely to be an internal error or problem, or a resource problem where something fundamental couldn’t get done at init time.

CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT (3)

The URL was not properly formatted.

CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN (4)

A requested feature, protocol or option was not found built-in in this libcurl due to a build-time decision. This means that a feature or option was not enabled or explicitly disabled when libcurl was built and in order to get it to function you have to get a rebuilt libcurl.

CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY (5)

Couldn’t resolve proxy. The given proxy host could not be resolved.

CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST (6)

Couldn’t resolve host. The given remote host was not resolved.

CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT (7)

Failed to connect() to host or proxy.

CURLE_WEIRD_SERVER_REPLY (8)

The server sent data libcurl couldn’t parse. This error code was known as as CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_SERVER_REPLY before 7.51.0.

CURLE_REMOTE_ACCESS_DENIED (9)

We were denied access to the resource given in the URL. For FTP, this occurs while trying to change to the remote directory.

CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_FAILED (10)

While waiting for the server to connect back when an active FTP session is used, an error code was sent over the control connection or similar.

CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASS_REPLY (11)

After having sent the FTP password to the server, libcurl expects a proper reply. This error code indicates that an unexpected code was returned.

CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_TIMEOUT (12)

During an active FTP session while waiting for the server to connect, the CURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMEOUT_MS (or the internal default) timeout expired.

CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASV_REPLY (13)

libcurl failed to get a sensible result back from the server as a response to either a PASV or a EPSV command. The server is flawed.

CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_227_FORMAT (14)

FTP servers return a 227-line as a response to a PASV command. If libcurl fails to parse that line, this return code is passed back.

CURLE_FTP_CANT_GET_HOST (15)

An internal failure to lookup the host used for the new connection.

CURLE_HTTP2 (16)

A problem was detected in the HTTP2 framing layer. This is somewhat generic and can be one out of several problems, see the error buffer for details.

CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_SET_TYPE (17)

Received an error when trying to set the transfer mode to binary or ASCII.

CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE (18)

A file transfer was shorter or larger than expected. This happens when the server first reports an expected transfer size, and then delivers data that doesn’t match the previously given size.

CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE (19)

This was either a weird reply to a ‘RETR’ command or a zero byte transfer complete.

CURLE_QUOTE_ERROR (21)

When sending custom “QUOTE” commands to the remote server, one of the commands returned an error code that was 400 or higher (for FTP) or otherwise indicated unsuccessful completion of the command.

CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR (22)

This is returned if CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is set TRUE and the HTTP server returns an error code that is >= 400.

CURLE_WRITE_ERROR (23)

An error occurred when writing received data to a local file, or an error was returned to libcurl from a write callback.

CURLE_UPLOAD_FAILED (25)

Failed starting the upload. For FTP, the server typically denied the STOR command. The error buffer usually contains the server’s explanation for this.

CURLE_READ_ERROR (26)

There was a problem reading a local file or an error returned by the read callback.

CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY (27)

A memory allocation request failed. This is serious badness and things are severely screwed up if this ever occurs.

CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT (28)

Operation timeout. The specified time-out period was reached according to the conditions.

CURLE_FTP_PORT_FAILED (30)

The FTP PORT command returned error. This mostly happens when you haven’t specified a good enough address for libcurl to use. See CURLOPT_FTPPORT.

CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_USE_REST (31)

The FTP REST command returned error. This should never happen if the server is sane.

CURLE_RANGE_ERROR (33)

The server does not support or accept range requests.

CURLE_HTTP_POST_ERROR (34)

This is an odd error that mainly occurs due to internal confusion.

CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR (35)

A problem occurred somewhere in the SSL/TLS handshake. You really want the error buffer and read the message there as it pinpoints the problem slightly more. Could be certificates (file formats, paths, permissions), passwords, and others.

CURLE_BAD_DOWNLOAD_RESUME (36)

The download could not be resumed because the specified offset was out of the file boundary.

CURLE_FILE_COULDNT_READ_FILE (37)

A file given with FILE:// couldn’t be opened. Most likely because the file path doesn’t identify an existing file. Did you check file permissions?

CURLE_LDAP_CANNOT_BIND (38)

LDAP cannot bind. LDAP bind operation failed.

CURLE_LDAP_SEARCH_FAILED (39)

LDAP search failed.

CURLE_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND (41)

Function not found. A required zlib function was not found.

CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK (42)

Aborted by callback. A callback returned “abort” to libcurl.

CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT (43)

A function was called with a bad parameter.

CURLE_INTERFACE_FAILED (45)

Interface error. A specified outgoing interface could not be used. Set which interface to use for outgoing connections’ source IP address with CURLOPT_INTERFACE.

CURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS (47)

Too many redirects. When following redirects, libcurl hit the maximum amount. Set your limit with CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS.

CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION (48)

An option passed to libcurl is not recognized/known. Refer to the appropriate documentation. This is most likely a problem in the program that uses libcurl. The error buffer might contain more specific information about which exact option it concerns.

CURLE_TELNET_OPTION_SYNTAX (49)

A telnet option string was Illegally formatted.

CURLE_GOT_NOTHING (52)

Nothing was returned from the server, and under the circumstances, getting nothing is considered an error.

CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_NOTFOUND (53)

The specified crypto engine wasn’t found.

CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_SETFAILED (54)

Failed setting the selected SSL crypto engine as default!

CURLE_SEND_ERROR (55)

Failed sending network data.

CURLE_RECV_ERROR (56)

Failure with receiving network data.

CURLE_SSL_CERTPROBLEM (58)

problem with the local client certificate.

CURLE_SSL_CIPHER (59)

Couldn’t use specified cipher.

CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION (60)

The remote server’s SSL certificate or SSH md5 fingerprint was deemed not OK. This error code has been unified with CURLE_SSL_CACERT since 7.62.0. Its previous value was 51.

CURLE_BAD_CONTENT_ENCODING (61)

Unrecognized transfer encoding.

CURLE_LDAP_INVALID_URL (62)

Invalid LDAP URL.

CURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED (63)

Maximum file size exceeded.

CURLE_USE_SSL_FAILED (64)

Requested FTP SSL level failed.

CURLE_SEND_FAIL_REWIND (65)

When doing a send operation curl had to rewind the data to retransmit, but the rewinding operation failed.

CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_INITFAILED (66)

Initiating the SSL Engine failed.

CURLE_LOGIN_DENIED (67)

The remote server denied curl to login (Added in 7.13.1)

CURLE_TFTP_NOTFOUND (68)

File not found on TFTP server.

CURLE_TFTP_PERM (69)

Permission problem on TFTP server.

CURLE_REMOTE_DISK_FULL (70)

Out of disk space on the server.

CURLE_CONV_FAILED (75)

Character conversion failed.

CURLE_CONV_REQD (76)

Caller must register conversion callbacks.

CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77)

An unspecified error occurred during the SSH session.

CURLE_SSL_SHUTDOWN_FAILED (80)

Failed to shut down the SSL connection.

CURLE_SSL_CRL_BADFILE (82)

Failed to load CRL file (Added in 7.19.0)

CURLE_SSL_ISSUER_ERROR (83)

issuer check failed (Added in 7.19.0)

CURLE_FTP_PRET_FAILED (84)

The FTP server does not understand the PRET command at all or does not support the given argument. Be careful when using CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, a custom LIST command will be sent with PRET CMD before PASV as well. (Added in 7.20.0)

CURLE_RTSP_CSEQ_ERROR (85)

Mismatch of RTSP CSeq numbers.

CURLE_RTSP_SESSION_ERROR (86)

Mismatch of RTSP Session Identifiers.

A problem was detected in the HTTP/3 layer. This is somewhat generic and can be one out of several problems, see the error buffer for details.

CURLE_QUIC_CONNECT_ERROR (96)

QUIC connection error. This error may be caused by an SSL library error. QUIC is the protocol used for HTTP/3 transfers.

CURLE_OBSOLETE*

These error codes will never be returned. They were used in an old libcurl version and are currently unused.

CURLMcode

This is the generic return code used by functions in the libcurl multi interface. Also consider curl_multi_strerror.

CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM (-1)

This is not really an error. It means you should call curl_multi_perform again without doing select() or similar in between. Before version 7.20.0 this could be returned by curl_multi_perform, but in later versions this return code is never used.

CURLM_CALL_MULTI_SOCKET (-1)

An alias for CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM. Never returned by modern libcurl versions.

Things are fine.

CURLM_BAD_HANDLE (1)

The passed-in handle is not a valid CURLM handle.

CURLM_WAKEUP_FAILURE (9)

Wakeup is unavailable or failed.

CURLM_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT (10)

A function was called with a bad parameter.

CURLSHcode

The “share” interface will return a CURLSHcode to indicate when an error has occurred. Also consider curl_share_strerror.

All fine. Proceed as usual.

CURLSHE_BAD_OPTION (1)

An invalid option was passed to the function.

CURLSHE_IN_USE (2)

The share object is currently in use.

CURLSHE_INVALID (3)

An invalid share object was passed to the function.

CURLSHE_NOMEM (4)

Not enough memory was available. (Added in 7.12.0)

DESCRIPTION

       This  man  page includes most, if not all, available error
       codes in libcurl.  Why they occur and  possibly  what  you
       can do to fix the problem.

CURLcode

       Almost  all  "easy"  interface functions return a CURLcode
       error code. No matter what, using CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER is a
       good  idea  as  it  will  give  you a human readable error
       string that may offer more details about the  error  cause
       than just the error code does.

       This  man  page  is  meant  to  describe libcurl 7.9.6 and
       later. Earlier versions might have  had  quirks  not  men-
       tioned here.

       CURLcode is one of the following:

        CURLE_OK (0)
             All fine. Proceed as usual.

        CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL (1)
             The  URL  you passed to libcurl used a protocol that
             this libcurl does not support. The support might  be
             a compile-time option that you didn't use, it can be
             a misspelled protocol  string  or  just  a  protocol
             libcurl has no code for.

        CURLE_FAILED_INIT (2)
             Very  early  initialization  code  failed.  This  is
             likely to be an internal error or problem.

        CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT (3)
             The URL was not properly formatted.

        CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT_USER (4)
             URL user malformatted. The user-part of the URL syn-
             tax was not correct.

        CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY (5)
             Couldn't  resolve  proxy. The given proxy host could
             not be resolved.

        CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST (6)
             Couldn't resolve host. The given remote host was not
             resolved.

        CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT (7)
             Failed to connect() to host or proxy.

             After connecting to a FTP server, libcurl expects to
             get a certain reply back.  This error  code  implies
             that it god a strange or bad reply. The given remote
             server is probably not an OK FTP server.

        CURLE_FTP_ACCESS_DENIED (9)
             We were denied access when trying to login to an FTP
             server or when trying to change working directory to
             the one given in the URL.

        CURLE_FTP_USER_PASSWORD_INCORRECT (10)
             The username and/or the password were incorrect when
             trying to login to an FTP server.

        CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASS_REPLY (11)
             After  having  sent  the FTP password to the server,
             libcurl expects a  proper  reply.  This  error  code
             indicates that an unexpected code was returned.

        CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_USER_REPLY (12)
             After  having  sent  user  name  to  the FTP server,
             libcurl expects a  proper  reply.  This  error  code
             indicates that an unexpected code was returned.

        CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASV_REPLY (13)
             libcurl  failed  to  get a sensible result back from
             the server as a response to either a PASV or a  EPSV
             command. The server is flawed.

        CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_227_FORMAT (14)
             FTP  servers  return  a  227-line as a response to a
             PASV command. If libcurl fails to parse  that  line,
             this return code is passed back.

        CURLE_FTP_CANT_GET_HOST (15)
             An  internal failure to lookup the host used for the
             new connection.

        CURLE_FTP_CANT_RECONNECT (16)
             A bad return code on either PASV or EPSV was sent by
             the  FTP  server, preventing libcurl from being able
             to continue.

        CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_SET_BINARY (17)
             Received an error when trying to  set  the  transfer
             mode to binary.

        CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE (18)
             A file transfer was shorter or larger than expected.
             This  happens  when  the  server  first  reports  an
             expected  transfer size, and then delivers data that
             doesn't match the previously given size.
             This was either a weird reply to a 'RETR' command or
             a zero byte transfer complete.

        CURLE_FTP_WRITE_ERROR (20)
             After  a completed file transfer, the FTP server did
             not respond a proper


        CURLE_FTP_QUOTE_ERROR (21)
             When sending custom "QUOTE" commands to  the  remote
             server,  one  of the commands returned an error code
             that was 400 or higher.

        CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR (22)
             This is returned if CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is set  TRUE
             and the HTTP server returns an error code that is >=
             400.

        CURLE_WRITE_ERROR (23)
             An error occurred when writing received  data  to  a
             local file, or an error was returned to libcurl from
             a write callback.

        CURLE_MALFORMAT_USER (24)
             Malformat user. User name badly specified. *Not cur-
             rently used*

        CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_STOR_FILE (25)
             FTP  couldn't  STOR file. The server denied the STOR
             operation. The error  buffer  usually  contains  the
             server's explanation to this.

        CURLE_READ_ERROR (26)
             There was a problem reading a local file or an error
             returned by the read callback.

        CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY (27)
             Out of memory. A memory allocation  request  failed.
             This  is  serious  badness  and  things  are severly
             screwed up if this ever occur.

        CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEOUTED (28)
             Operation timeout. The specified time-out period was
             reached according to the conditions.

        CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_SET_ASCII (29)
             libcurl  failed to set ASCII transfer type (TYPE A).

        CURLE_FTP_PORT_FAILED (30)
             The FTP PORT command  returned  error.  This  mostly
             happen  when  you  haven't  specified  a good enough
             address for libcurl to use. See CURLOPT_FTPPORT.
             The FTP REST command  returned  error.  This  should
             never happen if the server is sane.

        CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_GET_SIZE (32)
             The  FTP SIZE command returned errror. SIZE is not a
             kosher FTP command, it is an extension and  not  all
             servers  support it. This is not a surprising error.

        CURLE_HTTP_RANGE_ERROR (33)
             The HTTP server does not  support  or  accept  range
             requests.

        CURLE_HTTP_POST_ERROR (34)
             This  is  an  odd  error  that  mainly occurs due to
             internal confusion.

        CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR (35)
             A problem occured somewhere  in  the  SSL/TLS  hand-
             shake. You really want the error buffer and read the
             message there as it pinpoints the  problem  slightly
             more.  Could  be  certificates (file formats, paths,
             permissions), passwords, and others.

        CURLE_FTP_BAD_DOWNLOAD_RESUME (36)
             Attempting FTP resume beyond file size.

        CURLE_FILE_COULDNT_READ_FILE (37)
             A file given with FILE:// couldn't be  opened.  Most
             likely  because  the  file  path doesn't identify an
             existing file. Did you check file permissions?

        CURLE_LDAP_CANNOT_BIND (38)
             LDAP cannot bind. LDAP bind operation failed.

        CURLE_LDAP_SEARCH_FAILED (39)
             LDAP search failed.

        CURLE_LIBRARY_NOT_FOUND (40)
             Library not found. The LDAP library was not found.

        CURLE_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND (41)
             Function not found. A required LDAP function was not
             found.

        CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK (42)
             Aborted  by callback. A callback returned "abort" to
             libcurl.

        CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT (43)
             Internal error. A function was  called  with  a  bad
             parameter.

             Internal  error.  A  function  was  called  in a bad
             order.

        CURLE_HTTP_PORT_FAILED (45)
             Interface  error.  A  specified  outgoing  interface
             could  not  be  used. Set which interface to use for
             outgoing connections' source IP  address  with  CUR-
             LOPT_INTERFACE.

        CURLE_BAD_PASSWORD_ENTERED (46)
             Bad password entered. An error was signaled when the
             password was entered. This can also be the result of
             a  "bad password" returned from a specified password
             callback.

        CURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS (47)
             Too  many  redirects.  When   following   redirects,
             libcurl hit the maximum amount.  Set your limit with
             CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS.

        CURLE_UNKNOWN_TELNET_OPTION (48)
             An option set  with  CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONS  was  not
             recognized/known.  Refer to the appropriate documen-
             tation.

        CURLE_TELNET_OPTION_SYNTAX (49)
             A telnet option string was Illegally formatted.

        CURLE_OBSOLETE (50)
             This is not an error. This used to be another  error
             code  in  an  old  libcurl  version and is currently
             unused.

        CURLE_SSL_PEER_CERTIFICATE (51)
             The remote server's SSL certificate was  deemed  not
             OK.

        CURLE_GOT_NOTHING (52)
             Nothing  was returned from the server, and under the
             circumstances,  getting  nothing  is  considered  an
             error.

        CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_NOTFOUND (53)
             The specified crypto engine wasn't found.

        CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_SETFAILED (54)
             Failed  setting  the  selected  SSL crypto engine as
             default!

        CURLE_SEND_ERROR (55)
             Failed sending network data.

             Failure with receiving network data.

        CURL_LAST
             This is not an error, but in  the  curl/curl.h  file
             this  can  be  used  to know how many existing error
             codes there are.

Browse by body area
Start here: Write or select a symptom. The guide will show warning signs, doctor guidance, diagnostic tests to discuss, OTC safety education, and related RX articles.

Important: This tool is educational only. It cannot diagnose, treat, or replace a doctor. OTC information is not a prescription. In an emergency, contact local emergency services or go to the nearest hospital.

Doctor visit helper

Prepare before seeing a doctor

A simple rural-patient checklist to help you explain symptoms clearly, ask better questions, and avoid unsafe self-treatment.

Safety note: This is not a prescription or diagnosis. For severe symptoms, pregnancy danger signs, children with serious illness, chest pain, breathing difficulty, stroke-like weakness, or major injury, seek urgent care.

Which doctor may help?

Start with a registered doctor or the nearest qualified health center.

What to tell the doctor

  • Write when the problem started and how it changed.
  • Bring old prescriptions, investigation reports, and current medicines.
  • Write allergies, pregnancy status, diabetes, kidney/liver disease, and major past illnesses.
  • Bring one family member if the patient is weak, elderly, confused, or a child.

Questions to ask

  • What is the most likely cause of my symptoms?
  • Which danger signs mean I should go to hospital quickly?
  • Which tests are necessary now, and which can wait?
  • How should I take medicines safely and what side effects should I watch for?
  • When should I come for follow-up?

Tests to discuss

  • Vital signs: temperature, pulse, blood pressure, oxygen saturation
  • Basic physical examination by a clinician
  • CBC, urine test, blood sugar, or imaging only when clinically needed

Avoid these mistakes

  • Do not use antibiotics, steroid tablets/injections, or strong painkillers without proper medical advice.
  • Do not hide pregnancy, kidney disease, ulcer, allergy, or blood thinner use.
  • Do not delay emergency care when danger signs are present.

Medicine safety and first-aid guide

This section is for patient education only. It does not replace a doctor, pharmacist, or emergency care.

Safe first steps

  • Rest, drink safe water, and observe symptoms carefully.
  • Keep a written note of symptoms, duration, temperature, medicines already taken, and allergy history.
  • Seek medical care quickly if symptoms are severe, worsening, or unusual for the patient.

OTC medicine safety

  • For mild pain or fever, ask a registered pharmacist or doctor before using common over-the-counter pain/fever medicines.
  • Do not combine multiple pain medicines without advice, especially if you have kidney disease, liver disease, stomach ulcer, asthma, pregnancy, or take blood thinners.
  • Do not give adult medicines to children unless a qualified clinician advises it.

Avoid these mistakes

  • Do not start antibiotics without a proper medical decision.
  • Do not use steroid tablets or injections casually for quick relief.
  • Do not delay emergency care because of home remedies.

Get urgent help if

  • Severe symptoms, confusion, fainting, breathing difficulty, chest pain, severe dehydration, or sudden weakness need urgent medical care.
Medicine names, dose, and timing must be decided by a qualified clinician or pharmacist after checking age, pregnancy, allergy, other diseases, and current medicines.

For rural patients and family caregivers

Safe pathway to proper treatment

Patient care roadmap

Use this simple roadmap to understand the next safe steps. It is educational and does not replace examination by a doctor.

Go to emergency care if you notice:
  • Severe or rapidly worsening symptoms
  • Breathing difficulty, chest pain, fainting, confusion, severe weakness, major injury, or severe dehydration
Doctor / service to discuss: Qualified healthcare provider; specialist depends on symptoms and examination.
  1. Step 1

    Check danger signs first

    If danger signs are present, seek emergency care and do not wait for online information.

  2. Step 2

    Record the symptom story

    Write when symptoms started, severity, medicines already taken, allergies, pregnancy status, and test results.

  3. Step 3

    Visit a qualified clinician

    A doctor, nurse, or qualified healthcare provider can examine you and decide which tests or treatment are needed.

  4. Step 4

    Do only useful tests

    Do tests after clinical assessment. Avoid unnecessary tests, random antibiotics, or repeated medicines without diagnosis.

  5. Step 5

    Follow up and return early if worse

    If symptoms worsen, new warning signs appear, or treatment is not helping, return for review quickly.

Rural patient practical tips
  • Take a written symptom diary and all previous prescriptions/test reports.
  • Do not hide medicines already taken, even herbal or over-the-counter medicines.
  • Ask which warning signs mean urgent referral to hospital.

This roadmap is for education. A real diagnosis and treatment plan requires history, examination, and clinical judgment.
