Describing Symptoms
Before an online consultation, a hospital app asks you to describe your problem to the doctor. Write your message (150–300 characters): what is wrong and where, how long it has been going on, what makes it worse, and what you've already tried.
- Symptom vocabulary: 发烧, 咳嗽, 肿, 发炎, 过敏
- Double 了 for how long it has lasted (咳嗽了一个星期了)
- 一…就… for what triggers a symptom
- Body words and parts (喉咙, 胃, 皮肤, 部位)
Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
