MY FRIEND’S ILLNESS

Ann is a student of our medical college. She studies in our group. Yesterday she came to the classes after a week’s absence. “What was the matter with you?” I asked her. “I was ill. When I came home I went to bed and took my temperature. It was high. I coughed, sneezed and had a headache and muscular pains. I had a running nose too. My mother called a doctor and in the morning the district doctor came. She examined me carefully and prescribed some medicines. The doctor said: you will take the mixture for cough three times a day before meal. You must take a table spoonful of it. Shake the bottle well before using. This is the prescription for a gargle. Gargle your throat six times a day. This is the prescription for nasal drops. And these two prescriptions are for tablets. Theses tablets are good for a headache. Take them twice a day. And these tablets are good for colds. Take them four times a day after meal. Drink a lot of tea with lemon and raspberry jam too.” Ann followed all her instructions and soon felt good.

1.What are the symptoms of colds?

2. What did the district doctor prescribe?
