Vocabulary notes Dizzy = the feeling when your head is spinning A prescription is a piece of paper which a doctor gives you, and which you can use to buy medicine at the chemist’s. Painkillers are a kind of medicine that helps when something hurts, for example if you have a headache or a sore throat. If you have an allergy to something, it means you have a bad reaction. Allergies can be very dangerous. For example, some people are allergic to nuts, and will get very ill if they eat even one nut. Specialist - a doctor with more specific knowledge. Overexert = work too hard, push yourself too hard
