Potential Treatments

Watchful waiting is used for many kinds of health conditions. Watchful waiting is sometimes used with cancers that may grow slowly or with pre-cancerous conditions. It can also be used for minor illnesses like children’s ear infections, since many go away on their own. Back pain or pulled muscles are other common problems where watchful waiting may be suggested.
