One morning. I woke up with a very sore throat. I could not swallow without feeling great pain. I told my mother about it. She decided that I should skip school that day. She was going to take me to see a doctor.
At 9 a,m, my mother and I took the bus to town to see our family doctor. We waited for a while at the clinic before I got to see the doctor. Dr. Vuth examined me carefully . I had a slight fever that I might be coming down with influenza. So he gave me an injection and prescribed some oral medicine for me. He also wrote me a medical certificate so that I could be absent from school for a couple of days.
By the time we reached home, my throat was definitely not as sore as it was before. The injection must be doing its work.
I took the oral medicine diligently and after two days of rest I was well on my way back to health again.
