Hi

When a patient complains that he's been ill and is suffering from a fever etc.. and the doctor wants to know the duration since the symptoms first started, what is the most natural way of asking it?

Please help.


Thank you

writingtosmsFor how many days?

Possible. A doctor will usually say something clearer, like "When did you first notice your symptoms?" or" How long have you been feeling unwell?"
