'''Basic Trope''': Someone is said to be sick but seems fine except for one trivial symptom like a sneeze or an itchy eye.
* '''Straight''': When Alice sneezes once, Bob thinks she must have a cold.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice only gets a minor tickle in the nose but Bob thinks she must have a serious case of the flu.
* '''Downplayed''': Alice sneezes several times in a row and doesn't have a very sensitive nose. However, she still seems perfectly fine otherwise.
* '''Justified''': Bob is a bit paranoid when it comes to medical issues and knows sneezing can be a sign of a cold.
* '''Inverted''': Alice has a high fever, but Bob is sure she's O.K.
* '''Subverted''': But then Alice starts showing symptoms of illness.
* '''Double Subverted''': Then when ''Bob'' sneezes, [[{{Hypochondria}} he thinks he's caught Alice's illness.]]
* '''Parodied''': At a doctor's office, the doctor says, "Alright, who's here just because, say, you had a minor itch or sneezed once? All of you can go home, you're fine."
* '''Zigzagged''': Sometimes Alice seems sick, sometimes not. Additionally, sometimes Bob thinks she is, sometimes he doesn't.
* '''Averted''':
** Alice never sneezes, coughs, gets itchy or whatever unless she ''is'' sick, in which case she shows normal symptoms.
** Bob doesn't diagnose Alice as sick unless she's showing true signs of illness.
* '''Enforced''':
** The writers want to set up a SickEpisode but failed to do the research so Alice is still essentially healthy.
** To set up Bob as a {{hypochondria}}c or a LovableCoward who doesn't know much about illness.
* '''Lampshaded''': "I feel perfectly fine, there are many reasons to sneeze."
* '''Invoked''': Carol pranks Alice with sneezing powder so Bob would think she was sick.
* '''Exploited''': PlayingSick is very easy for Alice: all she has to do is sneeze once or claim she feels a little bit itchy.
* '''Defied''': Bob looks in a reliable book that tells you how to really tell if a person is sick.
* '''Discussed''': "So if I only sneeze once, that's not a sign of illness, is it?"
* '''Conversed''': "Why do these characters automatically assume someone is sick if, like, they sneeze once or something? I have a sensitive nose and [[TheKlutz am a bit clumsy]] so if I was in that show, I'd probably spend all my time being seen as sick."
* '''Implied''': ???
* '''Deconstructed''': Alice becomes bored from having to rest when she's not sick.
* '''Reconstructed''': She breaks Bob's rules until he's convinced she's not sick.
* '''Played for Laughs''': Whenever Alice sneezes, coughs or whatever, Bob pulls a med kit out HammerSpace and starts performing a physical on her, to which Carol responds with "She's fine, [[PhraseCatcher Bob]]."
* '''Played for Drama''': ???
