Not in Naples but my recent experience in Lucca might have some comparison.
I caught a cold on my last trip to Italy in October. I used some covid tests I had packed so not covid.
Lasted about a week, but at the end of most symptoms, I had what I was sure was conjunctivitis, not uncommon with a cold virus .
So I googled ophthalmologist and was able to make a same day appointment. Great experience, doctor gave me eye drops to treat.
Paid 90 euros. Effective cure.
Finding a general practice doctor might be even easier.

If you are at a hotel, the front desk may be helpful in finding a doctor for you.

I got sick on the second day of vacation in Lake Garda and went to the pharmacy. She recommended two medicines but I only bought one as I wanted to google the other. Next day I went back to buy the second and the other pharmacist advised me to go to the doctor. She wrote down his number and address but then kindly called him for me. The doctor's office told me to come right over and 30 minutes later I had a stronger RX , a treatment and was told to return in 3 days although all done in minimal English. The second visit I got more treatments in a very almost elegant office and paid a total of $40 for the two doctor visits.
