I’ve got a sore throat and I’m coughing and sneezing .To make things worth , my temperature is very high and I suffer from a headache.I have no strength to live and study. Usually I have perfect health and I don’t know what to do. Please, examine me and tell what medicine I should take.Do you think that I’ve got flu? It’s very dangerous! What medicine should I take? I’ll take my medicine to bring down the high temperature and to recover from flu. Do you think the medicine will help? How many times a day should I take it?OK. I’ll take it three times a day during a week. Should I take it before or after meals? Well, I take it after meals and I have to take my temperature twice a day: in the morning and in the evening.

Is there anything more important than health? I don't think so. "Health is the greatest

wealth," wise people say. You can't be good at your studies or work well when you

are ill.

If you have a headache, heartache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the

stomach, if you complain of a sore throat or a bad cough, if you run a high

temperature and have a bad cold in your head, or if you suffer from high or low blood

pressure, I think you should consult a doctor. The doctor will examine your throat,

feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and

lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed.

After that he will prescribe some treatment, pills, tablets or some other medicine

which we can buy at the chemist's. He will recommend you to stay in bed for some

time, because there might be serious complications. The only thing you have to do is

to follow his recommendations.

Speaking about doctors' recommendations, I can't help telling you one funny story.

An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He complained of

weakness, insomnia, memory loss and serious problems with his heart, lungs and

liver. The doctor examined the patient and said that no medicine could cure his

desease.

Do you want to know what the doctor's advice was?

He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also

advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take

long walks. In other words, the doctor recommended him to follow the rule: "Eat at

pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is."

The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn't smoke

more than one cigarette a day.

A month later the gentleman came into the doctor's office. He looked cheerful and

happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.

"But you know, doctor," he said, "it's not easy to begin smoking at my age."
