(***notice not all systems are in the PE when doing a focused exam on a problem)
**A:**
Differential DDX: INCLUDE AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENTIALS
1. Viral pharyngitis – most likely as evidenced by clear exudate in nares, sore throat, cough, low grade fever (Stead, 2019). (←←←←←that is a practice treatment guideline)
2. Strep Throat – not as likely; low grade fever could be higher but Nyquil/Dayquil contains Tylenol but appearance and 7 days duration, lack of sick contacts and negative rapid strep test performed here in office this visit (Stead, 2019).
3. Allergic rhinitis – no report of sx increasing with outdoor activity or exposure to allergens, sx with sore throat are less likely for allergies.
4. Sinusitis- he has chronic infections with current erythema in turbinates, however he has no pain on palpation of sinus cavities, exudate is clear, his nares are patent, and he reports no pressure.
**DX: Viral pharyngitis**
**Plan:**
· Diagnostics
In house throat swab for rapid strep – negative.
Chest Xray, CBC, BMP (Stead, 2019).
· Treatment (specific medication with dosages here if this applies)
– Continue to rest and drink lots of fluids (Cash & Glass, 2017; Stead, 2019).
– Continue OTC Dayquil/Nyquil 15ml PRN per directions on the box
· Education
– Safe dosing discussed, sedation may occur with Nyquil, avoid driving or
operating heavy machinery after taking. Do not exceed 4000 mg tylenol in
a day or take additional products with Tylenol.
– Do not drink alcohol while taking these medications.
– Encourage tea with honey and lemon to help with cough and sore throat.
– Gargle with warm salt water 2-3 times a day for 30 sec, swish and spit.
– Do not drink alcohol while taking these medications.
– Cover mouth when coughing, do not drink after other people
· Follow-up
Return to office in 3-4 days if symptoms do not start to improve, or the
emergency room.
