Nurse Nadia’s Online help...

Dear Nurse Nadia,

I think I have a problem. You see, I woke up yesterday with a really bad headache and
backache. I took pain relievers, but they didn’t help. Today, I have a terrible sore throat
and a fever. Also, when I try to eat something, I get a stomachache. Is it serious?
Should I go to a doctor?
Sick in Seattle

Dear Sick in Seattle,

That sounds like the flu! You should drink a lot of fluids, like water and orange juice,
and get some rest. Your body is tired and going to school or work isn’t going to help at
all. You shouldn’t go out, just stay in bed. If you still feel bad in a few days, you should
definitely see a doctor!
Take care,
Nurse Nadia
