How to Translate

Does anyone know how to translate Medication from English to Chinese as my Daughter teaches in Ningbo and there is not an English speaking Doctor at the University?
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thank You.

    Hmmmm. Thought this would be a simple task of putting "medication" into an online translator like Babelfish:

    http://babelfish.altavista.com/

    but it came up with this, depending on whether you wanted simplified or traditional Chinese:

    疗程
    療程
    I wouldn't have a clue how to pronounce them, but if you could email them to your daughter, she could show them to someone who knows.
    Unless someone Chinese is reading this and can tell us.....

    Do you mean the word "medication" or do you mean you have some info regarding medication that you would like translated? If you have chinese characters enabled on your PC, I can translate it for you.
    I have the mind of a criminal genius. I keep it in the freezer next to Mother....

    Thank you Noozan but could you tell me how to enable Chinese characters?
