'Treat cheyyatha doctor'

When we were about to leave the home stay, after lunch, to the Coonoor railway station, last week, Akash had a severe tummy upset.  He vomited and felt slightly relieved thereafter.
 
Molly was upset as it had happened just before the long journey to Chennai.  She quickly made a search in her handbag and took out the last capsule of 'Omaze', which is usually prescribed by Valsa(Dr) for stomach disorders!  As Rana was not familiar with the brand name, he looked for the generic name. But he could not find it.  So he did not give the capsule to Akash.
 
Akash had a tiring two and a half hours journey to Mettupalayam.  There was a long break of over two hours to catch the connecting train to Chennai and the time was good enough to go to the town and buy any medicine required.  Rana thought it was not necessary.
 
But Molly was not convinced.  She told me to talk to Jubin to find out what is to be done in this circumstance.  I told her when there is a doctor with us, why talk to another?
 
She immediately said ' ithu treat cheyyatha doctor alle?! '
 
After the night's sleep on the train Akash was back to normal.  He was hungry and ate few hot 'dosas' as soon as we reached home, early in the morning!
