Full transcript
Good afternoon, Mr. Warsame. I'm Dr. Harding, one of the GPs here today. Could you describe the symptoms bothering you these past two weeks?
Salaan, dhakhtarow. Waxaan la kulmayaa hindhiso joogto ah, indhahaygu way qanjixaan, sankaygana wuu xanuunsaday laba toddobaad ka hor, gaar ahaan subaxdii.
Do you know what might be triggering these symptoms — perhaps pollen, dust mites, or pet dander? Are you currently taking any other medications regularly?
Waxay ka sii daraan marka aan dibadda joogo, gaar ahaan xilliga cawska iyo ubaxa. Ma qaadan wax dawo ah hadda, mana lihi wax xasaasiyad dawo ah oo la og yahay.
I'd suggest starting a non-drowsy antihistamine once daily. If your symptoms don't improve within the next two weeks, we'll look at other options.
Hagaag, dhakhtarow. Ma i suuxin doonto dawadan? Waxaan u baahanahay inaan wadid, marka waan ka welwelsanahay hurdo badan.
This particular tablet shouldn't cause noticeable drowsiness, though it's best to avoid alcohol while taking it. It's still safe for you to drive to work.
Waad ku mahadsantahay caddaynta. Ma jirtaa dawo sanka lagu shubo oo aan sidoo kale isticmaali karo? Qiimaheeduna ma badan yahay?
Yes, there's also a nasal spray available over the counter at most Australian pharmacies, usually costing around fifteen dollars for one bottle.
Waa fiican tahay, qiimuhu waa la qabsan karaa. Haddii calaamadahu aanay hagaagin, ma waxaan ku soo noqon lahaa halkan?
Please come back in two weeks if there's no improvement, and I can refer you to an allergy specialist at Logan Hospital then.
Waad mahadsantahay, dhakhtarow. Waan fiirin doonaa xaaladda, oo haddii aanay hagaagin, waan iman doonaa xafiiskaaga labada toddobaad gudahood.
