Healts and diseases

The doctor asks us how we feel, what problems we are having and what’s bothering us. It’s not good to hold back information on some of our problems or to exaggerate others. After a thorough examination the doctor prescribe for us one or more prescriptions and sets a date when we should see him again. After that we go to the pharmacy. There we get medicines according to the prescriptions that we have got from our practitioner e.g. tablets, pills, drops, ointments, syrup, powder, vitamins, gargle, and maybe antibiotics as well. We take the medicines according to the doctor’s advice.

Every household should have a well-stocked medicine chest. It should contain a clinical thermometer, pills, capsules, ointments, cotton wool, bandages, scissors, adhesive plasters and disinfectants.

Children are vaccinated against some illnesses. Vaccines are administered in particular against typhus, tetanus, chicken-pox, whooping-cough, tuberculosis, polio, etc. There are illnesses and injuries, however, which cannot be helped by any vaccine. It’s hard to prevent bone fractures or appendicitis. Prevention, however, is the best medicine. That’s why, even when we’re healthy and nothing is bothering or vexing us, we shouldn’t underestimate even a mild cold.

A good form of prevention is a visit to a spa. Spas are frequented not just by sick people, but by healthy ones as well. In a beautiful setting, salubrious nature, and food the body gets a chance to rest and pick up fresh energy.

Protect your health as if it was your most precious possession! Health is the most important thing in the world. We can fix our health by hardening, practicing sports, eating healthy food, moving in the fresh air, sleeping sufficiently, avoiding stress, alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs. Let’s wish to everyone health and happiness – and maybe our wish will come true.
