Ok in school today we learned about medical terms in spanish and I have the vocab down but Im so confused on how to use the term in a sentence because of the congugations (sp?) If anyone could help me out and show me a few lessons so I could say stuff like "The man has a headache" or "The girl is ill or sick" or "The women blows her nose"

Part of the problem is that many such expressions don't translate exactly. "The man has a headache" would most likely be translated "Al hombre le duele la cabeza" (The head is causing pain for the man.) The subject of that sentence technically is "cabeza" (head) in Spanish, while it's "man" in English.
"Le duele el/la ..." or "Le duelen los/las ..." is a typical way to say that any part is hurting: "Le duele el estomogo" (stomach ache), "le duelen las piernas" (leg pain), "le duele la espalda" (back pain), etc.
The most common way to say "The girl is sick" is "La chica esta (accent over the a) enferma.".
I honestly don't know how to say "blow her nose", though "estornudar" is to sneeze" ... "La mujer estornuda" would be "the woman sneezes".
