Doutor: Tu tossiste ontem à noite?

Doutor: Tens gripe! Trata com o remédio verde em cima de minha mesa todo dia.

The doctor is treated with "doutor" ("doutora" would be the feminine). Sometimes with the name, but always with "doutor". ("Doutor Souza").

The regular verb "doer" (to feel pain or hurt), is defective. It just exists in two conjugations. Singular (dói) and plural (doem).

Expressions

"Trata com que frequencia" / Treat it with what frequency

"Tenho/Tens (o que)" / I/You have got (what)

The disease (prolonged sickness) is determined with the verb to have "ter" / to have,
