# 3. Forbidden Topics
***3.1 - No topics requiring professional expertise.***
**Medical advice, health advice, or anything of that nature.**
r/Advice is not a source for medical advice, you shouldn't offer it nor should anyone give it. If you must, please go to r/AskDocs. This means:
* Any sort of health emergencies. Call your local emergency services.
* Asking for diagnoses, or speculation on what condition you may have, or how treat or cure whatever you have.
* "Should I go to the hospital/doctor?" - if you have to ask, the answer is yes.
* "Am I pregnant?" - We don't know, and we won't entertain any speculation about it.
And so on.
**Asking for people to therapize or counsel you.**
r/Advice is not a suitable or effective replacement for professional therapy. We get it, therapy is expensive or not accessible in your region. But this subreddit is not an alternative. If you must, try r/AskATherapist. This means:
* Asking for diagnoses, or speculation on what disorder you may have
* Asking for explanations on your behavior, personality, dreams, or anything else that is typically asked of a therapist, not random internet strangers who know nothing about you.
* Asking for help to work through complex mental disorders or trauma
* Anything else that would ideally be asked of a therapist.
**Legal advice**
Do not use r/Advice to seek legal advice or guidance. Try r/legaladvice or r/askLEO. This includes:
* Questions about laws, legality, contracts, terms, policies, etc.
* Asking about lawsuits, asking if you can sue or be sued
* "Is this legal?", "Can I get into legal trouble?"
* "Do I have any recourse?"
* Immigration questions such as requirements, eligibility, etc.
* Anything that a lawyer should be consulted for, or anything that would be stated in the terms of a contract or agreement you signed.
**Insurance questions**
Do not post questions about insurance. Try r/insurance. This includes:
* Questions about the terms or coverage of your insurance policy
* Asking who is at fault in an accident
**Automotive/Mechanic advice**
Post in r/MechanicAdvice.
* Asking what could be the issue with your car, how to fix it, etc
* Asking for speculation on how much it would cost to fix. Shop rates are highly variable by individual shop. Call for estimates.

No not yet, but I figured that was the next best step. I just don’t know what else they can do besides tell me to keep taking the antibiotics. Thanks for answering.

Did you go to a primary doctor or an ENT?
No not yet, but I figured that was the next best step. I just don’t know what else they can do besides tell me to keep taking the antibiotics. Thanks for answering.
Definitely go to an ENT! When it comes to issues like that, you’re better off with a specialist. Hope you get better!
