Good morning. I’m Doctor Smith.

• Good morning, Doctor.

How are you feeling today?

• I feel terrible.• Not so good.• I feel really bad.• Awful!

What symptoms are you experiencing?

• I have a headache…

• …and I feel congested.

I see. Have you been feeling “achy”?• Achy? What does that mean?

That means your muscles hurt. Have your muscles been sore?

• Yes, I have been feeling achy.

How long have you had these symptoms?

• I’ve been feeling sick for about three days.

• I’ve had a fever and felt congested since Monday.

I think you have the flu. I’m going to prescribe Tamiflu. Take one tablet twice a day for four days.

• One tablet twice a day for four days?

Yes, that’s right. Do you have any other questions?

• Yes. Should I take this medication with food?
