General Medicine at City Multispeciality Hospital

At City Multispeciality Hospital, our General (Internal) Medicine department offers holistic, patient-centered care across all ages, delivering both emergency and non-emergency services. Led by experienced physicians, we treat a full spectrum of illnesses—from mild pediatric cases to complex chronic conditions, all within a supportive, high-dependency unit (HDU).

🌍 Comprehensive, Whole-Person Care

Internal medicine, also called general medicine, focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases, while also managing health issues in adolescents and children. Our internists are skilled at tackling undifferentiated, multi-system illnesses, ensuring well-rounded assessments and management for hospitalized and outpatient patients.

🧠 Conditions Treated

Our physicians routinely diagnose and manage:

  • Fever, Malaria & Dengue: From common viral fevers to mosquito-borne diseases. Malaria often presents with paroxysmal chills and cyclical fevers, abdominal pain, and vomiting. Dengue is characterized by high-grade fever, muscle pain, rash, and potential for bleeding or shock; severe cases require IV fluids and hospital care. India frequently sees early-season spikes in malaria and dengue during monsoons.
  • Chest Diseases & Pneumonia: Including community-acquired and viral pneumonias—with symptoms like productive cough, fever, chest pain, and respiratory distress in severe cases.
  • Jaundice & Anemia: Jaundice results from elevated bilirubin due to liver inflammation or bile duct blockage; anemia is diagnosed and treated based on cause, including iron deficiency or chronic disease.

🔧 High-Dependency & Emergency Support

Our department maintains strong capabilities for urgent and critical care:

  • High-Dependency Unit (HDU): Offers round-the-clock monitoring for serious illnesses like severe dengue, septicemia, or respiratory distress.
  • Emergency Response: Rapid triage and treatment for acute chest pain, fever emergencies, and respiratory failure—coordinated with pulmonology, infectious disease, or ICU teams as needed.

đź©ą Symptom-Based Management

With many illnesses presenting with nonspecific symptoms such as fever, cough, or body aches, our physicians apply a syndromic, empirical treatment approach. In tropical regions, this includes early antibiotic coverage for conditions like scrub typhus, typhoid, and leptospirosis—using broad-spectrum drugs such as ceftriaxone or doxycycline, then tailoring once diagnoses are confirmed.

đź“‹ Treatments Offered

Our department provides specialized care for:
  • Fever
  • Critical Care
  • Malaria
  • Dengue
  • Chest Diseases
  • Jaundice
  • Anemia

Each treatment aligns with evidence-based practice: antimalarials for malaria, supportive care for dengue, antibiotics and oxygen for pneumonia, iron or transfusions for anemia, and targeted management for jaundice.

👩‍⚕️ Patient Counseling & Lifestyle Support

Beyond clinical management, our physicians offer:

  • Thorough Patient Counseling: Covering diagnosis, treatment options, medication education, and preventive strategies.
  • Supportive Guidance: On lifestyle modifications—including diet, hydration, exercise, and preventive vaccinations—for chronic illnesses like anemia or recurrent fevers.

đź’ˇ Integrated & Continuous Care

Our internal medicine team collaborates closely with other specialties:

  • ICU, Pulmonology, Infectious Disease & Hepatology: Multidisciplinary collaboration for comprehensive case reviews.
  • Lab & Imaging Support: Prompt CBCs, LFTs, chest X-rays, USG, microbiology, and serology testing are available on the same campus.
  • Follow-Up Care: Includes outpatient monitoring and referral to specific departments (e.g., gastroenterology for persistent jaundice).

đź“Ť Seasonal Focus

Monsoon-related illnesses such as dengue, malaria, and gastroenteritis rise during early wet season months. Our team proactively implements strategies for early detection, fluid management, and monitoring to avoid complications like ARDS and hemorrhagic shock.
