phrases for travellers and learners: describing symptoms, pharmacy visits, doctor appointments, and emergency healthcare interactions.","md",[43,46,49,52],{"q":44,"a":45},"Can pharmacists in Spain prescribe medications?","Spanish pharmacists are authorised to dispense a wide range of medications without prescription, including many antibiotics, painkillers, and treatments for common conditions. For chronic prescriptions and stronger medications, you need a GP visit. For minor issues, always ask the pharmacist first; many trips to the doctor in Spain are avoidable by speaking to a pharmacist.",{"q":47,"a":48},"How do I describe pain in Spanish?","The universal construction is 'tengo dolor de [body part]' (I have pain of [body part]). For sharper pain, 'me duele mucho' (it hurts me a lot); for occasional pain, 'a veces me duele' (sometimes it hurts me). The verb 'doler' follows the gustar construction (inverted from English); 'me duele la cabeza' literally means 'the head hurts to me'.",{"q":50,"a":51},"What is the difference between estrenido and constipado?","'Estrenido \u002F estrenida' means constipated (digestive blockage). 'Constipado \u002F constipada' is a Spanish false friend that means 'has a cold' (congested), NOT constipated. Saying 'estoy constipado' in a medical context means you have a cold; if you need to discuss digestive issues, use 'estrenido'.",{"q":53,"a":54},"Will my travel insurance work in Spanish-speaking countries?","Most international travel insurance is accepted at private hospitals across Spanish-speaking countries. Public hospitals may require upfront payment with reimbursement claims afterward. Always carry your insurance card and emergency-contact number; private hospitals will often call your insurer directly during the admission to confirm coverage.","Spanish medical vocabulary is one of the most useful learning categories for travellers. Even tourists rarely need restaurant phrases urgently; medical phrases are needed urgently when you need them.
