The idea
Say I have a sore throat or ask Do you have something for a headache? Ask How often should I take it? for directions.
Examples
- I have a sore throat.
- My son has a cough.
- Do you have something for a headache?
- Can I take this with food?
- How often should she use this cream?
- I take another medicine. Is this safe for me?
