Z: I feel absolutely horrible. My temperature is 41 degrees Celsius, and I've got a headache and a runny nose.
B: do you have any other symptoms?
Z: I've also got a terrible stomach-ache. Is my face still swollen?
B: just a little. Has your toothache gone now?
Z: yes, for the most part. It doesn't feel as bad as my other ailments, anyway.
B: how about your tongue? Does it still hurt?
Z: no, the burn ointment seemed to take effect right away. I think it's already healed.
B: how did you get that burn again?
Z: I scalded on the hot coffee a few days ago.
B: you haven't had much luck lately, have you?
Z: no, but I'm sure I'll get better soon.
B: when's the last time you took your tablets?
Z: I took the red ones just before lunch and the white ones just after lunch.
B: I think it's time you took another does of each. What would you like to drink with them?
Z: just some water, please. Do you have any ointment for my nose? It feels so itchy after blowing my nose so much.
B: sure, I'll just go and get it now. what would you like to eat? Some soup?
Z: that sounds good.
B: soup always makes me feel better when I'm sick. I hope it makes you feel better, too.
