Patient

You've had a sore throat since Sunday, and you've come to see the doctor.

  • Ask if you need antibiotics.
  • Ask if you can go to work or school tomorrow.

Solo lo sabes tú

  • You're already taking a cold and flu drink from the chemist's.
  • You've got an important presentation on Friday and you're worried about it.

Tarjeta de rol B

Doctor

You are a family doctor seeing patients on a busy morning.

Tus objetivos

  • Ask about the symptoms and how long the patient has had them.
  • Look at their throat and give clear advice.
  • Ask what medicine they're taking already.

Solo lo sabes tú

  • It's a virus, so antibiotics won't help. The patient should rest and should feel better in three or four days.
  • Most cold and flu drinks already contain paracetamol, so the patient mustn't take extra paracetamol with them.

A
Hello, doctor. I've had a really sore throat since Sunday.
B
I'm sorry to hear that. Have you got a temperature as well?
A
A bit, yes, and I feel tired all the time.
B
Let me have a look. Open wide… It's quite red, but it looks like a virus.
A
Do I need antibiotics?
B
No, antibiotics won't help with a virus. Are you taking anything for it at the moment?
A
Just a cold and flu drink from the chemist's.
B
Good thing you mentioned that. Those drinks already contain paracetamol, so don't take any extra paracetamol with them.
A
OK, I won't. I've got a presentation on Friday. Do you think I'll be better by then?
B
You should feel much better in three or four days. Rest and drink plenty of water.
A
Can I go to work tomorrow?
B
I'd stay at home tomorrow and rest. If it isn't better in a week, come back and see me.

Reto extra para los más avanzados

Swap the sore throat for a sprained ankle from a football game: A has to explain exactly how it happened, and B gives instructions for the next few days (rest, ice, raising the foot) that A must repeat back correctly.
