Solving health problems

Nobody likes being sick, and it’s even worse when someone you love becomes ill. That’s why whenever we see a sick friend or relative, we always try to help them, we give them suggestions.

And what about you? What do you do when you are sick? Who gives you advice when you feel bad? Do you go to the doctor’s or do you get suggestions from friends?
