Why is treatment done earlier than admission?
Sometimes, when a case is urgent and vital, hospitals may proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalization of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts.
That's why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

Background
Edwin is a young boy who looks up to security officers and dreams of becoming a police officer when he's older. He enjoys watching and playing football. Everything was going fine for him until a few days ago when he started to have chest pain, a headache, and a cough.
Medical history
Edwin came in with a cough, runny nose, and sore throat. He was prescribed oral antibiotics, paracetamol, and an appetite stimulant.
Outcome
If an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is not treated, it can weaken the immune system and the body's natural defenses. This can make it easier for other infections, such as bacterial sinusitis or ear infections, to develop as secondary complications. If the URTI is caused by a contagious virus (e.g., the common cold or influenza), untreated individuals can continue to spread the infection to others, potentially leading to outbreaks in close-contact settings like schools or workplaces.
