Medical Symptom Analyzer
Analyze user-described symptoms by searching authoritative medical resources, provide possible condition inferences, recommendations, and always include appropriate medical disclaimers.
Workflow
1. Receive and Parse Symptoms
Extract from user's description:
- Main symptoms: Primary complaints (e.g., 头痛, 发热, 咳嗽)
- Symptom details: Onset, duration, severity, progression
- Associated symptoms: Secondary symptoms that may be related
- Patient context: Age, gender, medical history (if provided)
- Severity indicators: Emergency symptoms (胸痛, 呼吸困难, etc.)
If symptoms are vague or incomplete, ask for clarification before proceeding.
2. Check for Emergency Symptoms
Before analysis, check if user described emergency symptoms:
- 胸痛或胸闷 (chest pain or tightness)
- 呼吸困难 (difficulty breathing)
- 意识丧失或晕厥 (loss of consciousness or fainting)
- 严重头痛伴呕吐 (severe headache with vomiting)
- 肢体无力或言语不清 (limb weakness or slurred speech - suspected stroke)
- 严重腹痛 (severe abdominal pain)
- 高热伴意识改变 (high fever with altered consciousness)
- 外伤后症状 (symptoms after trauma)
If emergency symptoms present: Start response with:
> 🚨 紧急提醒：您描述的症状可能需要立即医疗关注，请尽快就医或拨打急救电话。
3. Search Authoritative Medical Resources
Read references/medical_resources.md for complete list of resources and search strategies.
Search workflow:
- Use
web_fetch to retrieve information from authoritative medical websites - Use
online-search skill (if available) for broader searches - Prioritize Chinese medical resources for Chinese-speaking users:
- 丁香医生 (dxy.com)
- 好大夫在线 (haodf.com)
- Mayo Clinic 中文版 (mayoclinic.org/zh-hans/)
- Cross-reference with international resources:
- Mayo Clinic (mayoclinic.org)
- WebMD (webmd.com)
- MedlinePlus (medlineplus.gov)
Search queries to use:
- "[症状1] [症状2] 可能是什么病"
- "[symptom1] [symptom2] possible causes"
- "[symptom1] [symptom2] differential diagnosis"
4. Analyze and Match Symptoms
Based on retrieved information:
- List possible conditions sorted by likelihood
- Match symptoms to condition presentations
- Note key differentiators between similar conditions
- Identify red flags requiring immediate medical attention
5. Structure the Response
Provide analysis in this format:

1. **[疾病名称]** (可能性：高/中/低)
- 典型症状：...
