Lægen

Hej, kom indenfor. Hvad kan jeg hjælpe dig med i dag?

Hi, come in. What can I help you with today?

You

Jeg har haft ondt i halsen og feber siden i går.

I’ve had a sore throat and a fever since yesterday.

Lægen

Okay. Jeg vil gerne undersøge dig. Har du hoste eller smerter?

Okay. I’d like to examine you. Do you have a cough or pain?

You

Ja, jeg hoster lidt, og det gør ondt, når jeg synker.

Yes, I’m coughing a bit, and it hurts when I swallow.

Lægen

Først tager sygeplejersken din temperatur. Så kigger jeg i halsen og lytter på lungerne.

First the nurse will take your temperature. Then I'll look at your throat and listen to your lungs.

You

Tak, det er fint. Jeg er lidt nervøs.

Thanks, that’s fine. I’m a bit nervous.

Lægen

Sådan, det var ikke så slemt. Så er vi færdige. Det ligner en mild virusinfektion, ikke noget alvorligt.

There we go, that wasn't so bad. We're done. It looks like a mild viral infection, nothing serious.
