A common illness

Lara: Hi, Mom. I was just calling to tell you that I can’t come to your birthday party this weekend. I’m afraid I’m sick.

Mom: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.

Lara: Yeah, I got sick Wednesday night, and it’s just been getting worse.

Mom: Are you going to see a doctor?

Lara: I don’t know. I don’t want to go to a doctor if it’s not serious.

Mon: Well, what symptoms have you been having?

Lara: I’ve had a cough, and now I have a fever.

Mom: Have you been taking any medicine?

Lara: Just over-the-counter stuff.

Mom: If your fever doesn’t go away, I think you need to call doctor.

Lara: Yeah, I probably will.

Mom: Well, call me tomorrow and let me know how you’re doing.

Lara: Okay. I’ll call you in the morning.
