At the doctor's
Saying what hurts, for how long, and understanding what you are told to do.
Why these go together
French uses for pain, with the article on the body part, never the possessive: , not my head. And with the present tense says how long it has been going on, where English needs the perfect. In France you see a généraliste first, and the pharmacist is a trusted first stop for small things.
