Problem description:Hello doctor, my father is 78 years old this year. Since February, he has felt pain in his chest, back, head, and coughing. At that time, the new crown virus had not been eliminated, and the elderly were afraid of trouble. So I took some cough and painkillers. Now I want him to go to the hospital for a checkup. I don’t know which department to call. The elderly are too old and afraid that they will not be able to eat in the hospital for a long time. What kind of checkup?
