Everyone's a Doctor

So, I'm a little sick. I've got a cold and a cough. I went to the pharmacy in Valparaiso and got medicine but I still haven't gotten over it. The past two days at school, however, I've had the best doctors in Chile telling me what to do. I'm serious. Everyone at the school has recommended something different. I should take this cough syrup, that pill. I should forget medicine and take herbs. I should drink onion juice sweetened with sugar (really). Today, they had me covering sections of orange with honey and eating them to coat my throat so I won't cough as much. But then my 4th grade students told me that wasn't good, I had to try it with lemon. Everyone's a doctor... and I'm still sick.
