GP (Bronchitis)

1. Doctor · turn 1

   Good morning, Mrs Li. I'm Dr Wilson. Please come in and have a seat. What brings you in today?

   早安，李太太。我是Wilson醫生。請進，坐吧。您今天為甚麼來看醫生？

2. Patient · turn 2

   醫生你好。我咳嗽已經快一個星期了，而且一直都沒有好轉。我最近還一直覺得很累，有一點低燒，晚上咳得特別厲害，所以想來看看。

   Hello, doctor. I’ve been coughing for almost a week, and it hasn’t improved. I’ve also been feeling very tired recently and have had a slight fever. The cough is particularly severe at night, so I decided to come in.

3. Doctor · turn 3

   I'm sorry to hear that. Apart from the cough and fever, have you experienced any chest pain, shortness of breath or wheezing? Is the cough dry, or are you coughing up any sputum?

   聽到這個情況，我很遺憾。除了咳嗽和發燒之外，您有胸痛、呼吸困難或喘鳴嗎？是乾咳，還是會咳出痰？

4. Patient · turn 4

   我沒有胸痛，不過有時候走快一點就會有點氣喘。是有痰的，尤其是早上，痰很多，而且是黃色、很濃稠。

   I don’t have chest pain, but sometimes I become a little short of breath when I walk quickly. I am coughing up sputum, especially in the morning. There is a lot of it, and it is yellow and very thick.

5. Doctor · turn 5

   I see. It sounds like you may have a chest infection or bronchitis. What you've told me suggests it's more than just a common cold.

   明白。聽起來您可能患有胸部感染或支氣管炎。根據您所說的情況，這似乎不只是普通感冒。

6. Patient · turn 6

   支氣管炎是什麼？嚴重嗎？

   What is bronchitis? Is it serious?

7. Doctor · turn 7

   Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchial tubes in your lungs. It's commonly caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Most people recover well with the appropriate treatment, but if it's left untreated, it can sometimes lead to long-term complications or even pneumonia.

   支氣管炎是肺部支氣管發炎，通常由病毒或細菌感染引起。大多數人在接受適當治療後都能順利康復，但如果不接受治療，有時可能會引致長期併發症，甚至肺炎。

8. Patient · turn 8

   原來如此。支氣管炎真的會讓人感覺病得這麼嚴重嗎？

   I see. Can bronchitis really make someone feel this unwell?

9. Doctor · turn 9

   Yes. It could even be that you have a mild case of pneumonia. Either way, we'll need to start treatment as soon as possible to control the infection. Before prescribing any medication, I'd like to ask a few more questions. Have you had any allergies to antibiotics?

   可以。您甚至可能患有輕微肺炎。無論是哪種情況，我們都需要盡快開始治療，以控制感染。 在處方任何藥物之前，我想再問您幾個問題。您對任何抗生素過敏嗎？

10. Patient · turn 10

    我對青霉素過敏，會起紅疹。一年前，我足部有一次很嚴重的感染，那時候醫生開了青霉素給我，我吃了之後全身都起紅疹，所以才知道自己對青霉素過敏。

    I’m allergic to penicillin, which causes a rash. A year ago, I had a serious infection in my foot, and the doctor prescribed penicillin. After taking it, I developed a rash all over my body, which is how I discovered that I was allergic to penicillin.

11. Doctor · turn 11

    Thank you for letting me know. We'll avoid prescribing any antibiotics that contain penicillin. You mentioned earlier that you had thyroid problems in the past. Could you tell me a little more about that?

    謝謝您告訴我。我們會避免處方任何含有青霉素的抗生素。 您剛才提到以前曾有甲狀腺問題。可以再告訴我多一點相關情況嗎？

12. Patient · turn 12

    大概五年前，我檢查出甲狀腺功能有點異常，不過吃了一段時間藥之後就恢復正常了。這跟現在的情況有關嗎？

    About five years ago, tests showed that my thyroid function was slightly abnormal, but it returned to normal after I took medication for a while. Is that related to my current condition?

13. Doctor · turn 13

    Not necessarily. However, I'd like to arrange some blood tests to find out what kind of infection you have. At the same time, we'll also check your thyroid function, just to be on the safe side. I'd also like to listen to your chest today. Depending on what I find, I may arrange a chest X-ray if I suspect pneumonia.

    不一定。 不過，我想安排一些血液檢查，以確定您患有哪一種感染。同時，為安全起見，我們也會檢查您的甲狀腺功能。 今天我也想聽診您的胸部。視乎檢查結果，如果我懷疑是肺炎，可能會安排胸部X光檢查。

14. Patient · turn 14

    好的，需要空腹驗血嗎？

    All right. Do I need to fast before the blood test?

15. Doctor · turn 15

    No, fasting isn't necessary for these tests. I'll also prescribe an antibiotic that doesn't contain penicillin. Please start taking it today. It's very important that you complete the full course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may cause the infection to return or become more difficult to treat. In the meantime, make sure you get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids and come back immediately if you develop worsening shortness of breath, persistent high fever, chest pain or start coughing up blood.

    不需要，進行這些檢查前無需空腹。 我也會處方一種不含青霉素的抗生素。請從今天開始服用。 即使幾天後開始感覺好轉，完成整個抗生素療程仍然非常重要。過早停藥可能會令感染復發，或變得更難治療。 在此期間，請確保充分休息並多喝水。如果呼吸困難加劇、持續高燒、出現胸痛或開始咳血，請立即回來求醫。

16. Patient · turn 16

    明白了，我一定會按時把藥吃完。如果情況惡化，我會馬上回來。 另外，我多久之後回來看驗血結果比較合適？

    I understand. I’ll make sure I take all the medication as directed. If my condition worsens, I’ll come back immediately. Also, when would be a suitable time to return for my blood test results?

17. Doctor · turn 17

    The blood test results should be available in about two or three days. Please book a follow-up appointment later this week so we can discuss the results and see how you're responding to the antibiotics. If you're not improving by then, we may need to arrange further investigations or adjust your treatment. Do you have any other questions today?

    血液檢查結果應該會在大約兩至三天後出來。 請預約在本星期較後時間覆診，讓我們討論檢查結果，並了解您對抗生素的反應。如果屆時情況仍未改善，我們可能需要安排進一步檢查或調整治療。 您今天還有其他問題嗎？

18. Patient · turn 18

    沒有了，謝謝醫生。我今天就去驗血，也會預約覆診。

    No, that’s all. Thank you, doctor. I’ll have the blood test today and book a follow-up appointment.

19. Doctor · turn 19

    You're welcome. I hope you feel better soon. Take care.

    不客氣。希望您早日康復。請多保重。
