It’s winter now. We are in Canada. It’s often cold here. So a week ago I suddenly fell ill. It was just after the New Year party. I had a high temperature, a running nose and a sore throat. Also I had a splitting headache and a cough. My whole body ached. Mom told me to stay in bed and called for a doctor. The doctor examined my lungs, felt my pulse and blood pressure, took my temperature. He said it was a light case of the flu and told me to have a rest. He wrote a prescription for a gargle and cough medicine. I followed all the doctor’s instructions. Every day I took a tablespoonful of mixture 3 times a day and some pills. In three days I was better and I have almost recovered by now..
