How to Describe Medical Symptoms & Pain in English | Situational & Survival | Daily English Podcast.

Have you ever been at the pharmacy and struggled to explain exactly how you feel? In this episode of Daily English with Sarah and Leo, we follow Leo as he navigates a medical emergency. Leo’s stomach is "on fire," but he almost walks away with the wrong medication because he doesn't know the right words!
Sarah, our expert teacher, steps in to guide him through essential Medical English vocabulary and pharmacy English for beginners. In this lesson, you will learn the crucial difference between your stomach vs. abdomen and how to use descriptive adjectives for types of pain, such as sharp, dull, or burning sensations.
We also dive deep into pharmacy-specific nouns like antacids, painkillers, and understanding the correct dosage. Whether you are an A1, A2, or B1 learner, this ESL health conversation is packed with practical phrases for real-life situations. You'll master symptom duration time expressions and learn how to ask about potential side effects like feeling "drowsy." Don't let a language barrier stop you from getting the help you need.
