How to describe medical symptoms in English?

Welcome to CVS drive-through pharmacy. Are you picking up or dropping off?

欢迎来到CVS drive-through药房。您是取药还是送处方？

Li Wei? Let me look that up. Can you verify your date of birth for me?

Li Wei？让我查一下。能告诉我您的出生日期吗？

💡 美国很多药房(CVS, Walgreens)有 drive-through。取药时需要出生日期和地址验证身份。

Great, I've got it. So your doctor prescribed amoxicillin, 500 milligrams, three times a day for ten days. This is an antibiotic for your sinus infection. Have you taken amoxicillin before?

好的，找到了。你的医生开了阿莫西林，500毫克，每天三次，服用十天。这是治疗鼻窦感染的抗生素。你以前吃过阿莫西林吗？

Take it with food — it can upset your stomach otherwise. And make sure you finish the entire course, even if you start feeling better after a few days. Stopping early can lead to antibiotic resistance. Also, avoid alcohol while you're on it.

随餐服用——否则可能引起胃不适。还有一定要把整个疗程吃完，即使你几天后感觉好多了。提前停药会导致抗生素耐药性。服药期间也要避免饮酒。

Let me run it through your insurance real quick... Okay, with your insurance, your copay is $10. Without insurance it would be $45, so your plan is saving you quite a bit. Cash, card, or Apple Pay?

让我快速走一下保险...好的，走你的保险后，你的自付额是10美元。没保险的话要45美元，所以你的保险省了不少。现金、刷卡还是Apple Pay？

Absolutely — there's a patient information sheet stapled to the bag. Common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and maybe a rash. If you get hives or trouble breathing, that could be an allergic reaction — go to the ER immediately. Here's your prescription. Any other questions?

当然——药袋上钉了一份患者信息单。常见副作用是恶心、腹泻，也许会起疹子。如果出现荨麻疹或呼吸困难，可能是过敏反应——立即去急诊。这是你的处方药。还有其他问题吗？

Let me pull that up... Li Wei, date of birth?

让我查一下...Li Wei，出生日期？

Okay, I see your lisinopril 10mg. Unfortunately, it looks like your prescription has expired — the last refill was authorized six months ago, and your doctor only approved six refills. We'd need a new prescription from your doctor to continue.

好，我看到你的赖诺普利10毫克。不幸的是，你的处方已经过期了——最后一次续配是六个月前授权的，你的医生只批准了六次续配。我们需要你的医生开一张新处方才能继续。

Actually, yes — for essential medications like blood pressure meds, we can do an emergency supply. I'll give you a 3-day supply today. But you really need to get that new prescription within those three days, okay? I'll also fax your doctor's office right now to speed things up.

其实可以的——对于降压药这样的必需药物，我们可以提供紧急供应。今天我给你三天的量。但是你一定要在三天内拿到新处方，好吗？我现在就传真给你的医生办公室来加快进度。

Good question. Do you have your new insurance card? Let me run it and see what your new plan covers. Sometimes a plan change means the medication is on a different tier, which could change your copay.

好问题。你有新保险卡吗？让我查一下你的新保险覆盖什么。有时候换保险意味着药物在不同的级别，你的自付额可能会变。

Okay, good news — your new plan still covers lisinopril. Your copay actually went down from $10 to $5. And for today's emergency supply, it's only $2. Here you go — and don't forget to follow up with your doctor for that new prescription!

好的，好消息——你的新保险仍然覆盖赖诺普利。你的自付额其实从10美元降到了5美元。今天的紧急供应只需2美元。给你——别忘了联系你的医生续开新处方！
