Back in Taiwan，whenever I had a streaming nose and a dry throat，I'd rush to the hospital to get prescribed medicine.For a fever，I would receive a red pill， which I now know is a type of antibiotic (抗生素)． Another thing I know now is that the criminal behind my cold is a virus.The drugs I used only relieved the symptoms.When I went to a German hospital intending to get some medicine to treat my cold，I got nothing more than a pat on my shoulder and words from the doctor，saying that I should get some really good rest.The first time this happened，I was shocked.I wondered how I could put up with my sickness without the help of medicine.But the longer I stayed in Germany，the better I knew how to selfmedicate as other Germans do. I learned to take vitamin C to build up my resistance.But what I like the most is drinking “Erkältungstee”．For German people，Erkältungstee is what their grandmother gives them when they catch a cold.It's a tea bag mainly made of lime flower and orange rind.Another popular cold remedy in Germany is chicken soup.During my first winter in Germany，I got a really bad cold.My neighbor brought me a bowl of chicken soup to make me feel better.It contained a lot of ginger，onion，garlic， carrots and celery.Germans believe these ingredients are perfect for helping your body recover. 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在德国如何应对感冒的故事。 1．How did the author feel after seeing the German doctor?
