Experienced Dr Sandra Cabot recommends what you should do in different situations.
1. If you burn your hand, you should put it under the cold tap, for at least twenty minutes. I know it
sounds like a long time, but for it to work, that’s what you need to do. It’s not a good idea to put a
plaster on it, because you could damage the skin when you take it off, you can break open the leaves
from an aloe vera plant and put the sap on your burns.
2. For a temperature, well I know people often think they should keep warm, but actually you need to
let your body get cool, so really the best thing is to open the windows, or even get in a bath of, well,
warm water to start with, then cold water to it, to make cooler and bring the temperature down. You
can take something like paracetamol, too. That will help.
3. Now if you’ve got a bad cold, you certainly shouldn’t go to the doctor. There’s really nothing we can
do for you. No, all you can do is to go to bed, have lots of hot drinks and just allow it to get better by
itself. If it doesn’t come so, send for the doctor, who writes prescription for you and gives
recommendations. If you are taking antibiotics, well, the important thing is that you must finish the
prescription. Because if you don’t do, your body could become resistant to the organism.

4. Ok, now, to lose weight people often think that you shouldn’t eat potatoes, bread, pasta, things like
that, but it depends how much of them you eat and how you cook them. I mean, you certainly
shouldn’t have fried potatoes, but that’s because of fat. It’s really fat and sugar that you should eat
less of and then you should combine this with taking more exercises. And make sure you have
regular exercise.
5. Now the thing about a pain in the back has changed. It certainly used to be true in the old days that
you had to go to bed and lie still, but of course that’s not going to help muscles. You’ll find it even
more difficult to move if you don’t use them at all, so now we recommend that you keep moving,
gently, of course. We don’t want you to go and lift heavy boxes or anything like that!
