Doctor–Patient Consultation

Doctor: Good afternoon. What brings you in today?

Patient: I’ve had a sore throat, mild fever, dry cough, and body aches
for the last four days. I also feel tired.

Doctor: Have you noticed any shortness of breath or chest pain?

Patient: No, just the cough and fever.

Doctor: Do you have any known allergies?

Patient: Yes. I’m allergic to penicillin. It causes a skin rash.

Doctor: Thank you for letting me know. I’ll avoid prescribing
penicillin.

Doctor: Your symptoms appear consistent with a viral upper respiratory
infection, but we’ll monitor your recovery.

Prescription: - Paracetamol 500 mg: 1 tablet every 6–8 hours as needed
for fever. - Cetirizine 10 mg: 1 tablet at bedtime for allergy
symptoms. - Dextromethorphan cough syrup: 10 mL three times daily as
needed. - Drink plenty of fluids and get adequate rest.

Recommended Tests: - Complete Blood Count (CBC) - C-Reactive Protein
(CRP) - Chest X-ray (only if cough worsens or fever persists)

Patient: Thank you, Doctor. When should I come back?

Doctor: Let’s schedule a follow-up appointment for next Friday at 4:00
PM to review your progress and test results.

Patient: That works for me. Thank you.

Doctor: You’re welcome. If your symptoms worsen before then, please
contact the clinic immediately.
