How to study this deck

This vocabulary is for emergencies and basic health. Study first the words to ask for help (medicine, bandage, ice pack) and then those for symptoms and treatments (fever, painkiller, prescription). In an emergency, being able to say "I need a doctor" and describe where it hurts can save valuable time.

The trickiest words

pills: pills are tablets you swallow. "Capsule" is a different form.
band-aid: it is a small adhesive bandage in the US; in the UK it is a "plaster". Band-Aid is a brand.
prescription: it is a written order from a doctor, not a cooking "recipe".

Examples in context

He took medicine for his cold.
He checked his temperature with a thermometer.
He took a painkiller for his headache.
She used crutches after her surgery.
He uses an inhaler when he has trouble breathing.
The child had a high fever.
He has a bad cough.
She felt nausea after the car ride.

Mini dialogue

A: Ouch! I cut my finger.
B: Let me get the first aid kit and a bandage.
A: Do you have antiseptic too?
B: Yes. If it hurts tomorrow, we go to the doctor.
