It sounds bossy, but is meant kindly.

Listen to mother.
I tried to self-medicate an upper respiratory problem for a couple of weeks. Fortunately, I had a regularly scheduled visit with my primary care doctor about that time. He said I had severe bronchitis, gave me a shot and a prescription for medications as well as telling me to take an over the counter treatment.
I immediately got better. At the age of most people in The Villages there is the constant danger of an upper respiratory problem turning into pneumonia.
Listen to mother.
