SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 19 WORDS
GP

Thanks for bringing Aanya in today, Mrs Rao. Can you describe how her diarrhoea has been since it started?

SEGMENT 2 · KANNADA · 16 WORDS
Mother

ನಿನ್ನೆ ಸಂಜೆಯಿಂದ ಅವಳಿಗೆ ನೀರಿನಂತಹ ಭೇದಿ ಆಗುತ್ತಿದೆ, ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್. ರಕ್ತ ಕಾಣಿಸುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ, ಆದರೆ ಅವಳು ತುಂಬಾ ದಣಿದಂತೆ ಕಾಣುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾಳೆ.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
GP

How many times has she had loose, watery stools since yesterday evening, and has she had any fever, vomiting, or blood mixed in?

SEGMENT 4 · KANNADA · 14 WORDS
Mother

ಇವತ್ತು ಬೆಳಗ್ಗೆಯಿಂದ ಸುಮಾರು ಆರು ಬಾರಿ ಭೇದಿ ಆಗಿದೆ, ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಜ್ವರ ಕೂಡ ಇದೆ, ಆದರೆ ರಕ್ತ ಅಥವಾ ವಾಂತಿ ಇಲ್ಲ.

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 21 WORDS
GP

Is she drinking fluids normally, or refusing them, and have you noticed dry lips, fewer wet nappies, or unusual tiredness today?

SEGMENT 6 · KANNADA · 16 WORDS
Mother

ಅವಳು ನೀರು ಕುಡಿಯಲು ಒಪ್ಪುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ, ತುಟಿಗಳು ಒಣಗಿವೆ, ಮತ್ತು ಬೆಳಗ್ಗಿನಿಂದ ಒಂದೇ ಬಾರಿ ಮೂತ್ರ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾಳೆ.

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 30 WORDS
GP

This looks like viral gastroenteritis, quite common in young children. I'd like her to start an oral rehydration solution, a few sips every ten minutes, unless she starts vomiting again.

SEGMENT 8 · KANNADA · 9 WORDS
Mother

ಅವಳಿಗೆ ಆಂಟಿಬಯಾಟಿಕ್ ಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆಯೇ, ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್? ನನಗೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಚಿಂತೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 30 WORDS
GP

If symptoms worsen or she becomes very lethargic, take her to Grampians Health Urgent Care in Ballarat for review; she won't need antibiotics unless a stool test confirms bacterial infection.

SEGMENT 10 · KANNADA · 12 WORDS
Mother

ಸರಿ, ಅರ್ಥವಾಯಿತು. ಅವಳು ಮತ್ತೆ ಶಾಲೆಗೆ ಅಥವಾ ಡೇಕೇರ್‌ಗೆ ಯಾವಾಗ ಹೋಗಬಹುದು?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
GP

She should stay home from childcare until she's had no diarrhoea for at least twenty-four hours, and please wash hands thoroughly after nappy changes.

SEGMENT 12 · KANNADA · 16 WORDS
Mother

ತುಂಬಾ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು, ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್. ನಾನು ಆಕೆಗೆ ORS ಕೊಡುತ್ತೇನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕೈ ತೊಳೆಯುವುದನ್ನು ಖಚಿತಪಡಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.
