Describe what you feel and when it started during a clinic visit.
The idea
Use a body part with が痛いです for pain, and a starting time with から for when a symptom began. せきが出ています describes a continuing cough; 薬を飲んでいます says you are taking medicine.
Examples
- 頭が痛いです。My head hurts.
- 昨日から熱があります。I have had a fever since yesterday.
- せきが出ています。I have a cough.
- 喉も痛いです。My throat hurts too.
- 朝から何も食べていません。I have not eaten anything since this morning.
- 薬を飲んでいます。I am taking medicine.
