Cough! Time to go to the Huisarts"},"content":{"rendered":"

Every time I have moved, I have fallen into the traps of new germs and viruses, and after four months, the Dutch germs finally got to me! For the past eight days, I have been living a true Dutch common verkoudheid<\/em> (cold), and it has not been fun at all.<\/p>\n

I do not meant to separate this cold from any others I\u2019ve had before. The symptoms are similar: koorts <\/em>(fever), keelpijn<\/em> (sore throat), hoofdpijn<\/em> (headache), loopneus<\/em> (runny nose), and the dreaded and hated hoest<\/em> (cough). However, this cold is different because my body is interacting with new types of germs, and it doesn\u2019t have the necessary antilichamen<\/em> for these. I usually suffer a verkoudheid<\/em> for four days, at least for the major symptoms, but this one is on its eighth and in full power. The hoest<\/em> is what is really beating me down because I can hardly sleep.<\/p>\n

Today I finally went to the doctor. I become a whiny and tearful baby when I am sleep deprived, and I finally decided I needed a push of professional help to recover. Luckily, the huisarts<\/em> had open hours today so I was able to go in without an afspraak<\/em> (appointment). The huisarts <\/em>was a very nice man and first heard my symptomen<\/em>. He then checked my temperatuur<\/em> (temperature), longen<\/em> (lungs) and keel. <\/em>He concluded that I did in fact have a verkoudheid<\/em> and prescribed geneesmiddel <\/em>(medication) to help me recuperate. The apotheek<\/em> or pharmacy was nearby so I picked up my prescription right away.<\/p>\n

All that is left for me to do is continue to take care of myself and wait for my body to create enough antilichamen<\/em> for the new germs in my life!<\/p>\n

The following video is an interesting listening practice. As you listen, check what questions the huisarts<\/em> makes, and the symptomen<\/em> patients describe.<\/p>\n
