about medical vocabulary in English in this video I will show you diseases
in English and how to talk about medical vocabulary coming up
hey friends Teacher prix here to help you talk to anyone anywhere anytime in
English thanks for coming back on another video and if it's your first
time here get ready because you are going to be learning a lot of new stuff
in this video and make sure to subscribe so that you don't miss any of my weekly
videos you know traveling is fun but what do you do if you get sick do you
know how to talk about it? So here in this lesson I'll be teaching you
general diseases okay things that we can have any time they're not very serious
we can't go to the drugstore and buy over-the-counter medicine do you know
over-the-counter medicine that's usually a medicine that you can buy without a
prescription a doctor's prescription what is a doctor's prescription it's a
paper where the doctor prescribes the medicine you have to take and this
medicine you can only buy if you present this paper at the drugstore if you don't
have this prescription you cannot buy this medication and hey because this
video will be a little bit long I will divide it into two parts so there will
be two videos talking about general diseases and problems in English so how
am I going to divide this lesson I will talk about some parts of the body and
the usual problems so here we go head yes guys we all have it a headache
okay headache is the number one problem people have in their head so you usually
say I have a headache okay and if you want to emphasize it
even more I have a really bad headache or you can say I have a terrible
migraine now migraine is a little different from
headache the symptoms are a little bit different a migraine can be a little bit
more severe okay but it's also related to the head
another one that I heard a lot in the United States was I have a splitting
headache this is a words to describe the kind of pain you are feeling in your
head is splitting comes from split dividing so if you have a splitting
headache it's almost like the pain is cutting your head dividing your head in
two so it's just a way to express it again a headache a splitting headache
and a migraine may have different levels of pain so if you're just having a
normal regular headache just say headache and then you can emphasize I
have a terrible headache I have a really bad headache and then people will
understand if you go to a drugstore and say I have a terrible migraine what can
I get for that but the pharmacist will definitely know how to help you moving
on next part of your body throat okay not the neck inside all right
the most common thing you can say about the throat is I have a sore throat okay
Sore comes from pain your throat is hurting okay you can also say my throat
hurts but it's not so common if you're having problems with your throat you can
usually say I have a sore throat another common problem people have with their
throat is hoarseness no we're not talking about horses here hoarseness is
a symptom that usually causes your voice to be different okay you can't really
speak because your voice is horse so in this case you will usually describe
my voice is hoarse alright so I have a sore throat my voice
is a little hoarse oh my goodness what do I do you can also say that you have
dry dry and scratchy throat okay so I have a dry and scratchy voice if you are
at the drugstore and you're trying to buy something you can describe the
problem oh excuse me I have a really dry and scratchy throat what can i buy to
help me with that back what is the back this part here back basically you can
say you have a backache okay now it's not a cake not talking about cake hahaha
gotcha Priscilla this is so strange it may
sound strange to you but it's very common for native speakers to use the
word have oh I have a backache oh I have a cold
oh I have a sore throat that is very common okay another way to say that is
to use the verb hurt the verb hurt indicates pain so for example my back
hurts okay you can say that oh my back is hurting I'm using present continuous
oh my back is hurting right now oh my goodness why can't I get for that
alright you can also say I feel pain in my back okay so you feel pain in your
back not so common you can usually say I have a backache or my back hurts but I
feel pain in my back is also possible just keep in mind that pain in this case
not a verb okay many students will say my back pains no okay I have I feel back
pain or my back hurts or I have a backache alright you can be a little bit
more specific about your pay for example for example I have a burning pain in my
lower in my lower back so there is a difference between upper back and lower
back okay and burning pain is just a more
detailed definition explanation about your pain burning is the sensation we
have with the fire so if you have a burning pain in your back it's important
to describe because you may need a different kind of medication if you go
to the doctor if you go to the drugstore okay and lower back upper back is
just a position the areas in your back upper lower okay excellent
there will be more diseases but to make this video short because you know it's
already long I will make a second video to talk about more diseases in English I
