Intermediate 23: Doctor’s Visit – I Have A Cough


Listen Later

None of us likes to visit the doctor, delaying things as long as possible. But, sometimes we just know that it really is important to get a professional to look at things. In today’s lesson it’s a good thing that we went to the doctor because he thinks that we might have bronchitis. And it’s a good thing that we learn how to talk about all of this in Portuguese too. Thank you Doctor, thank you.

Dialogue

Vera: Doutor, não sei se o senhor me pode ajudar, sabe, tenho tossido tanto que meu peito está doendo e sinto que não dá mais pra respirar.
Doutor: Sinto muito Dona Vera, quando começaram esses sintomas?
Vera: Mais ou menos há uma semana, depois que meu filho teve uma gripe séria.
Doutor: Você tem tomado alguma coisa para aliviar a dor?
Vera: Não, só tenho passado a vicks-vapor-rub, mas não creio que tenha ajudado muito, não.
Doutor: E a senhora tem tossido muito catarro, ou já notou muita febre?
Vera: Sim, muito catarro, mas acho que não tive muita febre.
Doutor: A senhora fuma?
Vera: Não doutor, eu larguei há mais ou menos 10 anos.
Doutor: Muito bom, bom, vamos ouvir os pulmões... Eu estou ouvindo um ronquidão um pouco. Acho que talvez você tenha bronquite. Vamos começar com um tratamento nebulizador agora, e alguns esteroides pra poder respirar melhor.
Vera: Obrigada, doutor.
Doutor: E vamos checá-la outra vez depois desse tratamento, tá bom?


Vera: Doctor, I don’t know if you can help me, but I have been coughing so much that my chest is sore and I feel like I can’t breath anymore.
Doutor: Sorry to hear that Dona Vera, when did these symptoms begin?
Vera: More or less a week ago, after my son had a terrible cold.
Doutor: Have you been taking anything to alleviate the pain?
Vera: No, I’ve only rubbed on vicks-vapor-rub, but I don’t think that it has helped at all.
Doutor: And have you been coughing up lots of mucus, or have you noticed any fever?
Vera: Yes, lots of mucus, but I haven’t had much of a fever.
Doutor: Do you smoke?
Vera: No Doctor, I gave it up about 10 years ago.
Doutor: Very good, well, let’s listen to your lungs. I can hear a little wheezing. I think you probably have bronchitis. Let’s begin with a nebulizer treatment now, and some steroids to be able to breath better.
Vera: Thank you doctor.
Doutor: And let’s check you again after this treatment, OK?
