Pneumonia
Once when I was 15 years old, I was very sick. I had a high fever, cold and a headache. I remeber that my parents weren't with me. I told my grandfather that I felt very bad and he told me, that I had pneumonia, I remember that my grandfather was scared. He made me a special drink with hot water with many herbs, but I don't know exactly what he put in it. After that I began to perspire and I felt better and I slept, and he also gave me an aspirin.
