It's wintertime and infectious deseases are spreading all over the countries. Flue is very catching. All sorts of viruses are circulated by people, mostly by children.
These deseases affect mostly the respiratory system. From the nose to the throat, to the lung.
The patient says "I'm going down with something...with the flue,, or is it covid ?
I've got to fight it off!
I've taken some paracetamol or acetaminophen to bring my temperature down. Because I'm feeling hot and unwell.
I don't want to stay ill; I can't afford to stay ill long because I have work to do.
I hope the doctor, or the pharmacist will help me feel better.
Yes I cough I've been coughing for three days; it is a dry cough, it happens during the night and during the day; it comes in bouts; it is even painfull and tiresome because I can't sleep.
I feel cold all day. I'm shivering. Sometimes I feel too hot etc..
I need a test at the pharmay because I've heard of covid infections recently. But it is just flue probably.
I need to get over it all rapidly.
************************
Fortunately I don't have a wet cough; I don't bring up any sputum, I don't spit for the time being; but I know that within a few days, I will probably spit a little bit.
I have no pain in the chest; no chest pain. (Chest pain is a bad symptom; it comes with pneumonia, and other deseases of the lung or the heart...(next quizz!
I have a blocked nose and I sneeze a lot and I cough a lot. I have a headache as well and I feel tired, exhausted !. I have had muscle pains as well (myalgias).
Quizz:
1 When I have a fever I need antibiotics straight away, as soon as possible.
2 Antibiotics are useful when I bring up lots of sputum, and I have a fever, and I cough, and X ray examination shows pneumonia.
3 Steroids (cortisone) can cure infection.
