Almost anything you would bring to a first visit: symptoms, medication questions, side effects, is-this-urgent, and what-to-do-next. The limit is the physical exam, not the topic.
Good questions for text: new symptoms, timelines, drug interactions, whether a side effect is normal, whether your thing needs a human today. Not for text: chest pain, stroke signs, severe allergic reactions, heavy bleeding, or a crisis (911 or 988). Pymander is a free AI doctor: ask the awkward question too. It has heard worse and it does not judge.
What to do
Common questions
What can I ask an AI doctor?
More than most people try. The strong categories: symptoms of any kind, described in plain words (the consult asks the discriminating follow-ups a physician would); medication questions, including interactions, side effects, what to do about a missed dose, and whether something mixes with coffee, food, or alcohol; the triage question, whether what you have is worth a doctor visit, an urgent care fee, or nothing at all; and next-step planning, meaning what to do tonight and what to watch for. People also ask the questions they were too embarrassed to say out loud in a clinic, which is a real and healthy use. The honest limits: an AI doctor cannot examine you, run labs, or formally diagnose or prescribe, and Pymander is explicit that it is a medical AI system, not a licensed doctor. And emergencies never belong in any chat: chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke signs, severe allergic reactions, heavy bleeding, or thoughts of self-harm mean 911, or 988 in the US for crisis support. Pymander is free and starts with a single text.
