Hello, my name's Doctor Ranj and welcome to my surgery. Are you well?

-Yeah!

-Oh, good. Someone isn't feeling well.

I wonder who my next patient is?

Who's come to visit me? Who will it be? Can you guess which friend it is?

Let's see.

It's...

Petal.

# With buttons, and bangles, the janglers, I hope.

# When I'm having so much fun it's hard for me to stop

# Twirling, twisting when I'm singing any song I choose

# Twirling, twisting, skating, skipping in my dancing shoes

# Twirling, twisting when I'm singing any song I choose

# Twirling, twisting, skating skipping in my dancing shoes

# Twirling, twisting, skating, skipping in my dancing shoes. Woo! #

-Hello, Petal.

-Hello, Doctor Ranj.

-How can I help you?

I'm all floppy. And very tired.

Have you had some breakfast today?

No. I didn't want any.

-How about yesterday, did you have any dinner?

-No, it made me sick.

How many times have you been sick?

I've been sick a lot of times. All the night I was sick.

And my bottom was sick, too.

Do you mean you had runny poo?

I had to run to the loo for being sick,

then I had to run to the loo for a poo, it was horrible.

Sounds like you should be tucked up in bed, Petal.

I do feel sleepy. Can I have a little sleep now?

We'll get you home to bed soon, but whilst you're here,

-we should have a look at you.

-OK.

OK, let's have a look in your mouth.

-Ah.

-Good.

We'll have a feel of your tummy.

-Is that sore?

-A little bit?

All right, we better have a little listen.

Ooh, it's cold.

-Good. Now, I'll need to take your temperature.

-OK.

So, tell me. Have you had anything to drink today?

Um, I did have some juice, but I didn't drink it.

-OK. Have you had any water?

-I did try, but then I was sick again.

The thermometer's telling me that you are hot.

I think you might have a bit of a tummy bug.

Your body's trying to get rid of the bug quickly.

It makes you sick and makes you poo.

-Can I have a little sleep now?

-Petal's so tired,

it's probably because she hasn't had enough to drink.

It's important that we all drink enough to keep us healthy.

But if you've got a tummy bug like Petal, it's even more important.

This special drink will replace all the water

and other good things that Petal lost when she was sick.

Sorry to wake you, Petal. I need you to have a little drink.

-No, thanks.

-It's just a spoonful. Here, let me help you up.

OK?

-Here you go.

-Ooh! Urgh.

-Does taste funny, doesn't it?

-Yes, it does.

-It will help you feel better.

I reckon it will taste a whole lot nicer

if you use this curly-wurly straw.

-Do you think so? It is a funny straw.

-Why don't you give it a go?

-Just a little sip.

-OK.

SHE SLURPS

Ooh, I think I'm going to be sick again. Ah, erm...

Oh, no. Actually, I'm not. Phew.

-You can have some more to drink in a minute.

-Do I have to?

Yes, it's important that you get enough to drink.

-Shall I tell you something amazing?

-OK.

Our bodies are made of lots of different things

but most of it is water.

-Which bits?

-Well, it's all over.

In your blood, in your skin, in your muscles, even in the air we breathe.

If I have so much water in me, why do I need to drink more?

That's because everything we do uses up water.

Like running or walking or dancing. You love dancing, don't you?

Yes!

If we're sick or have runny poo, then we lose lots of water

from our bodies and we have to drink more to help us feel well again.

Shall we ask the Healthy Helpers to tell us why?

Yes, that's a great question for the Healthy Helpers.

-Can I take this, just in case?

-Of course.

Here we go.

Hello, Nurse Morag.

Hello, Petal. How can I help you today?

Well, you see, I keep being sick.

-Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

-And I wanted to know,

why will I feel better if I drink more

when I'm sick and have runny poo?

Well, that's a very interesting question.

But I think I'll need my Healthy Helpers to help me answer that one

# Catch that ball, yeah, it's your go

# Give me questions, catch and throw

# Healthy Helpers will show and tell

# How you can keep fit and well

# Catch that ball Yeah, it's your go

# Give me questions catch and throw

# Healthy Helpers will show and tell

# How you can keep fit and well

# Ask me what you need to know

# Ask the nurse

# Catch that ball Yeah, it's your go

# Give me questions catch and throw

# Healthy Helpers will show and tell

# How you can keep fit and well

# Ask me what you need to know

# Give me questions, catch and throw. #

Today, I'm in Bristol and my Healthy Helpers are...

Hello, my name's Leronte and I like playing on my bike.

Hello, my name is Jade and I like doing gymnastics.

Hello, my name's Chrissy and I want to be a teacher.

My name's Adrian, I like playing in the park.

We usually always wash our hands before we eat, don't we?

But sometimes you forget.

Sometimes the person that's making the food,

they forget to wash their hands, too.

Then if we eat the food, some of the bugs can go into our tummy

and upset it, like Petal.

What do we need to wash our hands?

-Soap.

-Water.

-That's right, we need soap and water.

And a brush. We've got all of it.

We've got clean water, we've got soap, we've got nail brushes,

and we've got clean towels.

Everyone, wet your hands and I'll give you some soap.

That's it, everyone rub it together to make lots of lather.

Who can tell me what parts of our hands do we need to wash?

-We need to wash?

-Our wrists.

-Our wrists.

-Do this as well.

-Our palms.

Between our fingers.

Between our fingers,

you can have one hand wash the back of the other hands.

And the side of our hand here where our wee finger is.

Everyone do those nails.

Rub-a-dub-dub. Let's have a scrub. I'll hold that for you, sweetie.

-My water's not dirty at all.

-You must have had nice clean hands.

Sometimes, remember, you can't see germs.

Once you've finished rinsing all the soap off, take your towel

and dry those hands.

There you are. Very good, guys.

Now, shall we go and play a game and explain to Petal why she

should drink lots of water when she's got an upset tummy?

Yeah!

Let's go then, come on.

Right, Healthy Helpers, what have we got here?

What we're going to do, we're going to pretend that bowl here

is our insides.

And down here, what's under here?

-Toilet.

-It's a toilet.

We're going to put our breakfast,

lunch and dinner into our insides.

There we go, just tip it all in. Oh, a delicious breakfast.

-OK, what comes after breakfast?

-Lunch.

-Lunch.

Ooh, it's a bit gloopy. And what's after lunch?

-Dinner!

-Dinner.

-That's it, Leronte.

HORN BLARES

Oh, what's that noise, Healthy Helpers?

It was our bellies, because do you know what was in dinner?

A nasty bug. What would happen if we get a nasty bug in our stomachs?

-It makes you sick.

-We would, we'd be sick,

or our bodies would tell us we would need to have a poo right away.

It would say, pull out the plug, get rid of those germs.

Pull out the plug.

That's it. And they gave it a wee stir.

And what's happening to the toilet underneath?

-Is it all coming through?

-Yes.

But do you know what else our clever body does?

It flushes our stomach with lots of water to rinse away the nasty germs.

That's it, turn it on. Let's get rid of those nasty bugs.

-Bugs! How many bugs are not good for us?

-OK, guys.

All those nasty bugs are gone.

Our bodies have used up a lot of water to get rid of those germs.

So what do you think we should do?

Pour some water in!

That's right, we need to give our bodies some more water, don't we?

That will help your body to start working properly

and you'll feel much better.

There we are.

-Yeah.

-It's all gone.

That's right, the nasty bugs have gone.

Hopefully, Petal, you see why you need to drink

plenty of water when you've got a tummy bug.

Then you'll start to feel better.

Bye-bye, Petal. Get well soon!

-Thank you. Bye, Healthy Helpers.

-Thanks, see you soon, Nurse Morag.

Bye for now.

Oh, that was very interesting but I think I need to poo now.

Petal must be careful about washing her hands after she's been to

the toilet, so she doesn't give her tummy bug to anyone else.

-Poor Petal. Tummy bugs are horrid, aren't they?

-Doctor Ange?

-I feel a little better now.

-Did you wash your hands properly?

Yes, I washed the palms, the tops and between all the fingers.

-That's great. Now, can you manage another drink?

-Oh, thank you.

It's really important to have lots of little drinks,

and you might be able to try a bit of food.

-Yes, but not now.

-No, just drink for now.

-You can try some food in a day or so when you're feeling better.

-OK.

Oh, I don't feel well.

# Doctor, is there something you can do?

# I'm feeling very sick I keep running to the loo

# Tell me is your tummy in a spin?

-# The food in your tummy It just won't stay in.

-No!

-# You feel so hot and dizzy

-So hot

# As the tummy bug gets busy

-# You can't run outside and play

-And I want to

# Till that bug has gone away

# Doctor, is there something you can do?

# I'm feeling very sick I keep running to the loo

-# Tell me, is your tummy in a spin?

# Doctor, is there something you can do?

# I'm feeling very sick I keep running to the loo

# Tell me, is your tummy in a spin?

# I'm feeling very sick I keep running to the loo

# Tell me, is your tummy in a spin?

# The food in your tummy

# It just won't stay in. #

-Great song, Doctor Ranj.

-Now, it's time you were off home to bed.

Oh, yes please.

Keep having little drinks and you'll soon feel better.

-Get well soon, Petal.

-I hope so. Thank you. Bye-bye, Doctor Ranj.

Bye, Petal. It was good to have you with us, too.

Why not join me next time when we'll be helping someone else feel better?

Until then, be happy, be healthy.
