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
John likes gardening and has his small kitchen garden in an empty tin next to their house. He begun feeling unwell 5 days ago and since the mother was unable to afford the cost of hospital treatment, she resorted to over the counter medication. His condition worsened and was brought to the hospital.
Medical history
John was admitted to the facility for further evaluation due to an upper respiratory tract infection and a high fever, which led to convulsions. Additional tests were conducted to rule out any other underlying illnesses contributing to his condition. Following the tests, he was prescribed medication that alleviated his symptoms.
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.
