Medicine

Medicine is something that people take to help them get better when they are sick. It can be pills, liquids, creams, or even things you inhale from a spray. Doctors and other health care workers give people medicine to help them feel better. Sometimes medicine can also help prevent people from getting sick in the first place, such as a flu shot. Medicine works by fixing what is wrong inside your body. It can help make your body fight off illnesses and make you feel better.
