Hello, I'm Dr Ranj. Welcome to my surgery. Are you well?

ALL: Yes!

Good. But someone's not 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 Kiwa.

Weeeh!

# I've got wheels and I can ride

# I can whizz down any slide

# I've got wheels

# I've got wheels

# I've got wheels

# I've got wheels

# The doctor knows I need

# Adventure, fun and speed

# I've got wheels Round and round and round

# I've got wheels, whizzing round

# I've got wheels Round and round and round

# I've got wheels, whizzing round

# I've got wheels, whooo! #

Ah-ah-ah-tishoo!

Hello, Kiwa! How are you today?

Urgh, not good, I can't say D.

You just said D!

No, not D! D, as in drinking dea!

Oh, I see, you mean T, you can't pronounce the letter T?

Achoo! Exack-ly.

SHE SNIFFS

SHE COUGHS

Ah-ah-achoo!

Well, Kiwa, I think I know what's causing your problem.

-Your nose is blocked.

-SHE SNIFFS

Blocked, who's blocked my nose?

It's not who, it's what. Snot, and a lot of it.

Why do I have so much snot?

That's what happens when you have a cold. Now let's see.

Achoo!

-Can I take your temperature, please?

-Why not?

Here we go. Thank you, Kiwa.

Anything else beside a blocked nose?

Well, I'm feeling a bit tired and itchy.

-Oh, I see. The good news is your temperature's fine.

-Oh.

Can you open your mouth so I can look down your throat?

Yeah.

It's a bit itchy.

Open wide. Look inside.

-Aaaaah.

-Thank you.

So, what do you think I have?

Your nose is dripping and bunged up with snot.

You're feeling a bit weak. Your throat's a bit red and itchy,

-which means you've got a bit of a cold.

-Ah-achoo! Oooh.

-Bless you!

-Why do we sneeze and cough?

-That's because of the cold virus.

-Virus, what's a virus?

A virus is a tiny, tiny thing, a bug.

-Tiny like a beetle?

-Even smaller.

-Tiny like an ant?

-Even smaller.

A grain of sand?

EVEN smaller.

Wow, that is small.

You can spread the virus when you sneeze and cough.

Oh, that's not good.

We must cover our nose and mouth when sneezing

and coughing and wash our hands.

But I still don't understand. If the virus germs are so

deeny, weeny, diny, why have I got so much snot?

Let's ask Nurse Morag and the Healthy Helpers about that.

Yes, let's.

-Hello, Nurse Morag.

-Hey, what's up, Dr Ranj?

Kiwa's got a really good question for you.

-Achoo!

-Bless you.

Oh, bless you, Kiwa.

Thank you, Nurse Morag. This is exactly what I wanted

to talk do you about. Why do I have so much snot?

That's an excellent question,

and I think I'll need my Healthy Helpers to answer it.

ALL: Hello!

# 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 the 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. #

Hello, everybody, today I'm in Edinburgh

and my Healthy Helpers are...

Hello, my name is Kasmadi. I like to climb up in the trees.

Hello, my name's Al-Habir. I like going swimming with my brother.

Hello, my name's Frank and I like running really fast.

Hello, my name is May and I like going on holidays.

Right, who here has had a cold?

Oh, and how did you feel when you had a cold?

-Eh, very...

-Hot.

-I felt hot.

-Very hot and very sore and I was...

coughing. And then I had an ear infection and then I had

-a runny nose, a cough and...

-Same here

-..a headache and a tummy ache.

Goodness, that couldn't have been very nice.

Al-Habir, when you had a cold did you have a sore throat?

-Yeah.

-Were you too hot?

-No.

-And did you have a runny nose?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-I felt hot and cold.

-Hot and cold? So you had the two of them?

-That's no fun.

-Then I was sneezing, and then I had a sore throat.

So you were shivery and got blankets

and you were too hot and took them off again?

-It's exhausting.

-Then I was sneezing and I had a sore throat.

Oh, dear. And did you get a hoarse voice?

GRUFF VOICE: Your voice is like this and it's hard to talk.

Yeah, and I had a runny nose

and I was getting pain in my ears.

-Oh, that's not good.

-I've had an ear infection.

-So I had medicine.

-And did it help?

-Yeah.

-That's good.

A little bit.

Well, colds are caused by nasty germs called viruses.

And sometimes the best way to fight a virus isn't by taking medicine,

but by letting your own body fight the virus instead.

Can anyone tell me one of the things your body uses to fight a cold?

Not spiders?

I'll give you a clue. Ha-ha...

-Heart?

-..choo!

Sneezing.

-Oh, excuse me.

-That was sneezing.

It's snot.

Urgh!

Snot is what your body uses to fight the virus.

Who wants to play a game?

ALL: ME!

Come on, then.

This competition is due to start in Edinburgh,

but it's a competition that's going on in noses up and down the country.

If you have a runny nose right now then the contest

you're about to see is already taking place up there.

And in the green T-shirt we have Mr Snotty.

CHEERING

Frank has to stop anything harmful getting in the nose and body.

You have a very powerful weapon to help you.

-Snot.

-You have snot.

Give us a squirt of your snot, Mr Snotty!

Not me! SHE LAUGHS

And he is up against the nasty common cold germs.

They've been playing very well for several years,

making people ill everywhere.

THEY BOO

Now, their job is to roll their viruses into the human body goal,

getting past Mr Snotty. So are we ready?

ALL: Yeah!

Three, two, one.

Aaagh!

Yeah!

OK, guys well done. And that, Kiwa, is why we have snot.

It helps to trap and clear out the germs that are making us ill,

as well as washing away new ones

that are trying to get in and make us more unwell.

Get well soon, Kiwa! ALL: Get well soon, Kiwa.

Thank you, Healthy Helpers.

Thanks, see you soon.

See you soon, Dr Ranj.

I think it's very clever that every time

I sneeze or cough I'm pushing the virus out my body.

Ah-ah-achoo!

Oh, urgh. Oh, no.

What's wrong?

My snot is all green, Dr Ranj.

It was yellow and now it's green.

Don't worry. It just means your body's finishing fighting the virus.

Oh, yes, did you hear that, virus? Bye-bye.

Sayonara, adios...

You need to drink plenty, rest a little

and you'll be saying Ts in no time.

Oh. Oooh-oooh-aah-ah-choo,

achoo, achoo.

-Go snot!

-Go snot!

Oh, did you hear that, Dr Ranj?

I think I've got my Ts back.

# Twinkle, twinkle... #

See you, Dr Ranj.

Until then, be happy, be healthy.
