"Sick" Vocabulary

A few days ago the elementary school in my town temporarily shut down due to a terrible flu virus which incapacitated most of the upper grade students. Here at the junior high about 20% of the students have been out sick with this nasty bug. Thankfully, I've only shown minor cold symptoms thus far. So, here is some more illness-related kanji to help you survive the winter. I truly hope you DON'T have to use it!

咳 せき cough
風邪 かぜ (common) cold
病院 びょういん hospital
病人 びょうにん patient
病気 びょうき illness

I have a fever. Netsu ga aru.
