These phrases help you communicate information and ask for clarification when seeking help.
The idea
Use necesito ayuda to ask for help, me duele la cabeza for a headache and tengo fiebre desde ayer to say a fever began yesterday. To state an allergy, replace the substance in tengo alergia a la penicilina with your own information.
Examples
- Necesito ayuda, por favor.I need help, please.
- Me duele la cabeza.My head hurts.
- Tengo fiebre desde ayer.I have had a fever since yesterday.
- ¿Dónde está el centro de salud?Where is the health centre?
- ¿Puede hablar más despacio?Could you speak more slowly?
- Tengo alergia a la penicilina.I am allergic to penicillin.

Watch out
The allergy sentence is an example, not information about you. Use the correct substance and confirm important details with the person helping you.
