flag NHS urges public not to 999 for minor flu symptoms amid record emergency demand.

flag The NHS is warning the public against calling 999 for flu-like or minor illnesses, as emergency services face record demand with A&E visits and ambulance calls surging. flag Paramedics stress most respiratory symptoms don’t require emergency care and advise rest, hydration, and over-the-counter medication. flag Use NHS 111 for non-urgent advice, and only call 999 for severe symptoms like chest pain, breathing difficulties, or coughing up blood. flag High-risk individuals should seek care promptly but avoid driving to hospitals—call 999 for an ambulance instead.
