Last month I had to stay in bed for a week because I had flu. I had a horrible headache. I was coughing and sneezing. I had a high temperature. I went to see the doctor. He /she examined me , looked at my throat listened to my lungs, took my blood pressure and prescribed some medicine. He /she told me to stay in bad, drink a lot of hot lemon tea, and stay at home for a week. He / she told me too that I have to sleep a lot, and keep warm, never forget to take the pills, and take some vitamins. A few days I felt a bit better . My mother went to buy my medicine to the pharmacy. The chemist gave some good advice for my mother, for example herbs tea against flu. Fortunately , I haven't been in hospital yet. / I have been to hospital . My arm was broken when I felt down. My mother called the ambulance ( 104) First my arm was X-rayed, then the arm was put in plaster.
I go to the dentist every year. Fortunately, my teeth are healthy.
In Hungary the main medical problems are the high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer and heart attack. A lot of people suffer from these illness. The prevention would be the most important thing. We have to lead a healthy way of life. E.g. we should eat healthy food, a lot vegetables and fruit. We should do exercises regularly, do sports. We have to avoid to drink alcohol or smoke. The youngster should do more sports rather than watch TV or sit in front of their computer all day. They shouldn't eat junk food ( fast food) , smoke and drink alcohol. I never drink alcohol and I don't smoke.
