 My head hurts
 I've got a stomach ache.
 The doctor may prescribe a particular medicine. This is written on a prescription, which you take to a chemist's and show when you buy the medicine. If you are feeling very ill (US sick) or if you are in a lot of pain, the doctor may send you to hospital for more treatment.
