A friend was complaining of headache at work. He wanted to go get paracetamol when I told him not to. "Let me get you a bottle water instead, then you rest your head,paracetamol ain't vitamin c that you can just take anyhow." I told him .
He felt better when he woke up.
True.. even vitamin C, they don't just take it anyhow without prescription.
Anyways, it's good that he heed your advice and felt better. Some persons would ask you - "what does this one know?" And they would go ahead to do what they think is best.
Honestly...
He actually asked him why I told him not to since I'm always the one saying stuffs like, "go to to the hospital, complain at a pharmacy, do checkup...." And the likes. I just smiled and told him that everything is not pills at times.
True. Most times, lifestyle changes is all we need to correct some things.
