When to see a doctor

Call 911 now: fruity breath, like nail polish remover, with thirst, peeing more, throwing up, drowsiness or confusion.
Your doctor: a change in how your body odor usually smells, or you suddenly sweat much more than usual.
Your doctor: body odor that has not got better with self-care and is affecting your self-esteem.
Your doctor: night sweats that soak the bed, most of all with weight loss for no reason, a fever, a cough or diarrhea.
Your doctor: heavy sweating for at least 6 months, at least once a week, running in the family, stopping daily life, or on a medicine.
Your doctor: warm skin and heavy sweating with weight loss, a racing heart or trembling. A blood test checks the thyroid.
Your doctor: a fishy smell in your sweat, breath and urine that washing does not touch.
Your doctor or podiatrist: smelly feet that have not got better after treating them yourself.
