What should you do in an emergency?

For a rapidly spreading rash with fever, chills, a fast heartbeat, many pustules, widespread painful skin, or feeling very unwell, go to the nearest emergency department. In Thailand, call 1669 for emergency medical assistance. Do not use this website or routine contact channels instead of emergency care.
