PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Most people have used a search engine to look up a health problem at some point, and the result can be hundreds of links to different articles and websites. But how can you trust what you read?

The best advice is to gather your information and talk to your healthcare provider about your questions. Remember – even the best advice on the internet is not as good as advice from someone who knows you and your health history.
