Nurse Nadia’s Online help...
Dear Nurse Nadia,
I think I have a problem. You see, I woke up yesterday with a really bad headache and backache.
I took painkillers, but they didn’t help. Today I have a terrible sore throat and a temperature.
Also, when I try to eat something, I get a stomach ache. Is it serious? Should I go to a doctor?
Sick in Surrey Dear Sick,
That sounds like the flu! You should drink a lot of fluids, like water and orange juice, and get some rest. Your body is tired and going to school or work isn’t going to help at all. You shouldn’t go out, just stay in bed. If you still feel bad in a few days, you should definitely see a doctor!
Take care, Nurse

The Durham Sports Centre is open and ready for business! You can walk around or go jogging on our new athletics track. There is also a new gym. It’s very modern and great for gymnastics and other sports. We’ve also got a great Olympic swimming pool and a new hockey rink. Tennis isn’t much fun when it’s hot outside, so we’ve got ten tennis courts and they are all indoors! We’ve also got two indoor volleyball courts and one outside, too. The Durham Sports Centre is also a great place to hang out with your friends and play video games or pool. You don’t need to be an athlete to have fun here, because there is something for everybody.
