A Visit to the Doctor
Yesterday, I didnât feel well. I had a sore throat and a bad cough. I decided to visit the doctor.
At the clinic, the doctor asked me questions: âHow long have you been sick? Do you have a fever?â I told her that I felt sick for three days.
She listened to the sound in my lungs and looked at my throat. She said I had a small infection. She gave me medicine and told me to rest.
I bought the medicine at the pharmacy on my way home. I feel a little better today, but I will rest more.
