Clare wakes up hot, and her ear is aching. In the morning her mum phones Dr Toby's office for an appointment. Dr Toby looks in Clare's ear with a 'special torch'. He also checks her throat and chest. Clare doesn't look very happy through these procedures, but Dr Toby tells her she is being a good patient. He prescribes an antibiotic syrup and some decongestant medicine. Clare can't go to her swimming lesson that week, but after a few days at home, she is back in kindergarten. Set in Australia.
