This is a really useful way to learn medical terms:) and thanks a lot for sharing it.
I would just like to say that
Have you had diarrhea? should be = ¿Ha tenido diarrea? (past tense)
and that Have you eaten anything new? = ¿Ha comido algo diferente/nuevo? ("Comida" means "food" and "comido" means "eaten") :)
Thanks again for your useful website:)
In Spanish, constipado/a generally means congested, at least from what I've seen used.
Nice post!
Yeah, constipado refers to one's nose normally from allergies. I'm constipado almost all year round. However, I am not 'estreñido' which is what we would use for 'constipated'
But, I would guess bilinguals, whose contact with English is extensive, might incorrectly use 'constipado'.
