Does anybody have the number of the English Doc on Lyundhurst Terrace?

Thanks

Does the Dr have to be on Lyndhurst Terrace? How about D'Aguilar St or Queen's Rd?

[peter74]

That will be fine - its basically for a friend who does not have insurance - what is the cost for a consultation?

Bad flu basically!

Thanks!

If he wants to save 1200 HKD this is what my doctor told me when I went in for this horrid flu:
steam bowl to sooth the tubes
take appropraite cough medicine (actifed is good) - take doubel does at night to help you sleep
rest and sleep
drink honey, lemon, hot water and ginger

Only need antibiotics if you have a chest/throat infection - the rest you can just get form the pharmacy

A visit to the Cannosa out paitent during day time hours should be about $400-500 including meds. Be warned though .. they'll put you on antibiotics regardless of what the diagnosis (i.e. viral or bacterial)

Hello
I would second the advice given. Plus rest/Vitamin C (oranges or orange juice or effervescent) and if the throat is sore, aspirin gargles (if non-allergic)
A good pharmacist can offer this advice also.
Doctors can't do much about flu, unfortunatelyu, so it's symptomatic relief unless (as someone said) there's a secondary bacterial infection.
Antibiotics are not indicated and wont help!
Hope this helps your friend.
