When to seek medical advice
By Mayo Clinic staffValley fever, even when it's symptomatic, often clears on its own. Yet for older adults and others at high risk, recovery can be slow and the risk of disseminated disease high. For that reason, it's important to seek medical care if you develop the signs and symptoms of valley fever, especially if you live in or have recently traveled to an area where this disease is common.
Be sure to tell your doctor if you've traveled to a place where valley fever is endemic and have symptoms. More and more, people who spend a few days golfing or hiking in Arizona return home with valley fever but are never tested for the disease.
