#Person1#: So, how are things going, Steve?
#Person2#: Well, to be honest Carla, I was feeling great on Saturday, but I started to feel sick Sunday afternoon. I thought I'd get better, but I feel worse than before. And I'm really worried because I'm scheduled to give a presentation at work on Friday, so I have to be better by then.
#Person1#: Well, what seems to be the problem?
#Person2#: Well, I thought I had the flu, but the doctor said it was just a bad cold. He gave me some cold medicine to take care of my stuffy nose and fever. I'm supposed to take the medicine three times a day after eating, but it doesn't seem to help. He also told me to stay off my feet for a day or so, but I'm so busy these days.
#Person1#: Listen, forget about that medicine! I have just the thing to get rid of bad colds. You see, my mom is really into herbal medicine.
#Person2#: Oh, no thanks.
#Person1#: Ah, come on! Give it a try. You just take some of my mom's herbal tea and drink it four times a day. Believe me. You'll be up and dancing around in no time.
#Person2#: Dancing around in no time, right? Well, I guess. Nothing else seems to be doing the job.
#Person1#: Great. I'll come by your place at 7:30. See you then.
Steve tells Carla he feels sick since Sunday and he has to recover before his presentation on Friday. He got some medicine from the doctor but it doesn't help. Carla recommends him to try her mom's herbal tea, which is more effective.
