Children's Diseases

---------------------------------

In the past millions of childrens died of children disease. Such as diphtheria, scarlet fever and polio. Some other disease were very dangerous. They were: children-pox (small-pox), measles, German measles and mumps. Today these diseases are rare because children are vaccinated against them. German measles are very dangerous to girls and women. If they become ill with that disease, they may not have a baby.

Common Disease (illnesses)

---------------------------------------- -------

Sometimes you get ill but the illness isn't dangerous, so you don't go to the doctor's. You stay at home and in a day or a few days you are well again. Such illnesses may be: a cold, a stomachache and a headache. But when you have flu or a sore throat you should see the doctor.

At The Doctor

--------------------

When it's my turn I enter the surgery. The doctor ussually asks me, "What's the metter with you?" or "What are you complaining of?" I answer, "Oh, doctor, I feel under the weather. I have a cold, I have a bad cough and I have a sore throath." Then the doctor says, "Let my examine you. Get undressed to the waist." He takes his stethoscope and listens to my lungs and hearth. He says, "Fortunately it isn't pneumonia. It is only bronchitis." He asks the nurse to take my temperature. The nurse puts a story/" class="wiki-link" title="Viac o: anglictina">anglictina/thermometer/" class="wiki-link" title="Viac o: thermometer">thermometer in my mounth. After a minute the nurse says that I have a temperature. Then the doctor says, "Now I'll write you out a prescription. I'll prescribe you antibiotics. You must take them twice a day each twelf hours after meal. You must stay in bad, drink hot tea with lemon and eat a lot of fruit."

Injuries

-------------

Sometimes when we fall down or fall off tree, or fall off a bike we make injure ourselves. Sometimes it's only a bruise. Othertime it may be something more serious. Your ankle hurts it's swollen. You put a splint on your foot and then you must go for an X-ray. The X-ray will show if your ankle is sprained (put out) or broken. If it's sprained you put ice bags on it and in a few days you will be able to walk. If it's broken, your foot is put in plaster. After some weeks plaster is removed. Your foot is weak, however. You must go to physiotherapy.
