Symptom Checker

When you are searching for information concerning an ache or pain and really don’t know where to start, you can use the A.D.A.M. Symptom Checker. This tool will give you access to thousands of health and wellness articles that may help explain possible reasons for the symptom.  While the A.D.A.M System Checker offers an extensive amount of information, we always advise you to consult with a UofL Physicians provider to determine when and how to self-treat, determine an emergency and to gather information on preventive measurements.

To use the A.D.A.M. Symptom Checker:

How to use the A.D.A.M. figure to choose an area of the body

Using the gray icons below the figure, choose the appropriate male, female or child’s body. Simply choose an area of the body by clicking on the figure (head, neck, arms, chest, torso, groin, legs).  To rotate the body from front to back, use the curved arrow. 

Gathering information

What type of article are you looking for? For example, if you selected the chest area of the body, are you interested in learning what a dry cough might mean (symptom) or if you have bronchitis (disease)?

Make your type of article selection(s) by clicking the box for symptoms, diseases, injuries, tests, surgeries, self care or show all. Click “go.”

To read the associated articles, click on individual results.
