1 It’s definitely a bacterium and not a virus that’s caused your inflammation, so I’m going to prescribe a course of antibiotics.

2 I suggest that over the next six months you follow a reduced-calorie diet and exercise for 30 minutes three times a week. Come and see me in four weeks’ time and we’ll see how you’re getting on.

3 You appear to have developed a sensitivity to pollen. You may need to stay indoors at certain times of the year and take antihistamines to improve your condition.

4 I think your headaches may be due to the fact that you haven’t been taking in enough fluids. You really need to drink at least a litre of water a day.

5 I’m afraid you’re going to continue to experience some weakness in your left-hand side. I’ve referred you to the physiotherapist and prescribed medication to prevent a further occurrence.
