Question Correct Translations?

For homework, we have to answer these questions. We don't have to answer them, but I want to make sure the English meaning is correct. Also, check for errors, especially in the answers.

2. ¿Qué debes hacer cuando te duele la cabeza? ¿Y cuando te duele todo el cuerpo? MEANS: What should you do when your head hurts? And when your whole body hurts?
Answer: Cuando me duele la cabeza, debo tomar medicina. Cuando me duele todo el cuerpo, necesito llamar a la doctora.

3. ¿Te duele algo? ¿Qué? ¿Cuánto tiempo hace que te duele(n) el/la/los/las ___? ¿Qué piensas hacer? MEANS: Did you hurt something? What is it? How long have your ____ hurt? What do you plan to do?
Answer: Me duelen las piernas. Hace dos semanas que me duelen. Pienso visitar a la doctora.

¿Te duele algo?
Did you hurt something? The past tense wasn't used in Spanish
¿Qué?
What is it?
¿Cuánto tiempo hace que te duele(n) el/la/los/las ___?
How long have your ____ hurt? Provide different verbs for subject quantity, like the Spanish example
¿Qué piensas hacer?
What do you plan to do?
Me duelen las piernas. Hace dos semanas que me duelen. Pienso visitar la doctora.
Visitar is followed by something in this case.
Can you guess what it is?
Comments above.

" Cuando me duele la cabeza, debo tomar medicina" sounds strange to me
I usually say
"cuando me duele la cabeza, debo tomar medicinas"
"cuando me duele la cabeza, debo tomarme una medicina"
For the other ones see Rusty
Saludos
