Doctor Klein: Good morning, Cecilia, how are you feeling today?

Cecilia: I do not feel very well, Doctor Klein. I hope that you can treat my illness.

Doctor Klein: I'm sorry that you feel very sick. Tell me some of your symptoms so that I can give you a proper diagnosis.

Cecilia: I have not felt well since yesterday afternoon. The symptoms began with a headache and a gradual sore throat. I drank tea with lemon and honey, and I went to bed early. However, I don't feel any better today.

Doctor Klein: I have seen these symptoms recently in some of my other patients. I'll check your temperature and examine your throat in order to give you a proper diagnosis.

Cecilia: Thank you, Doctor.

Doctor Klein: Open up and say "Ahhhhhh...”

Cecilia: "Ahhhhhh...”

Doctor Klein: Oh, I can see that your throat is very red. Your temperature is really high. I am afraid that you might have the flu.

Cecilia: What is the best way to recover?

Doctor Klein: You will need rest, and you should drink a lot of water or warm tea. You've also just started to show symptoms, so I can prescribe you a medicine that can reduce temperature.

Cecilia: Should I stay home from work as well?

Doctor Klein: Yes, you should stay in bed. You should also wait until 24 hours after the fever has broken before you return to work.

Cecilia: I suppose I will just take it easy and relax for a couple of days. Thank you, doctor, for all of your help!

Doctor Klein: No problem! Try your best to rest for a couple of days. I hope you feel better soon!
