Good morning. This is Greenfield Family Clinic. How can I help you?
Hi, I'd like to make an appointment for my daughter. She's 5 years old.
Sure. What seems to be the problem?
He has a fever and a bad cough.
I'm sorry to hear that. When would you like to come in?
As soon as possible, please.
We have an opening today at 3:00 p.m. Would that work for you?
Yes, that's perfect. Thank you.
Great. May I have your daughter's name and date of birth?
Her name is Emily Brown, and her date of birth is July 10th, 2019.
Thank you. We'll see you at 3 p.m.
Good afternoon. How can I help you?
Hi, I have an appointment for my daughter Emily Brown at 3:00 p.m.
Let me check. Yes, I see it here. Please have a seat and the doctor will call you soon.
Thank you.
Hello, I'm Dr. Smith. How are you today, Emily?
She's not feeling well. He has a fever and has been coughing a lot.
I see. How long has she been sick?
For about 2 days. She started with a cough and yesterday she got a fever.
All right. Does she have any other symptoms like a sore throat, runny nose or body aches?
She says her throat hurts a little but no runny nose or body aches.
Has she been eating and drinking normally?
Not much. She doesn't feel like eating, but she drinks some water.
Okay, Emily, I'm going to check you now. Is that all right? Let me start by checking your temperature. Her temperature is 38.8° C, so it's a moderate fever.
Is that serious?
It's not too high, but we'll keep an eye on it. Now, I'll listen to her chest. Emily, can you take a deep breath for me? Good. Her lungs sound clear, but I hear some congestion in her throat. Lastly, I'll check her throat. Emily, can you say ah for me? Her throat is red, which means it's a little irritated, possibly from the coughing.
It looks like Emily has a mild viral infection. It's common in children and should get better in a few days.
What should I do to help her?
I'll recommend one, giving her fever medicine like children's acetaminophen every 6 hours as needed. Two, making sure she drinks plenty of water or fluids to stay hydrated. Three, resting at home and avoiding crowded places.
Will she need antibiotics?
No, because it's likely a viral infection. Antibiotics won't help. If her symptoms get worse after 3 days or if her fever gets very high, come back for a follow-up.
I understand. Thank you, doctor.
Common symptom, stomach pain. What's wrong?
I have a bad stomach ache.
Where exactly does it hurt?
Around my lower stomach.
Is the pain sharp, dull, or cramping?
It's cramping.
Do you feel nauseous or have diarrhea?
Yes, I feel nauseous, but I haven't had diarrhea.
Vomiting. What brings you here today?
I've been vomiting since last night.
How many times have you thrown up?
About five times.
Are you able to keep any food or water down?
No, I vomit every time I eat or drink.
Do you feel weak or dehydrated?
Yes, I feel very tired.
Leg injury. What happened to your leg?
I fell while running and now my leg is swollen.
Where exactly does it hurt?
Around my knee.
Can you move your leg or is it too painful?
I can move it a little, but it hurts a lot.
Did you notice any bruising or unusual sounds when you fell?
Yes, there's a big bruise, but I didn't hear any sounds.
Allergy symptoms. What seems to be the problem?
I think I have an allergy.
What are your symptoms?
My eyes are watery and I keep sneezing.
Did you eat anything new or come into contact with animals or plants recently?
Yes, I visited a friend's house and they have cats.
Blood tests and imaging tests. We need to do a blood test to check for infection.
Will it take long?
It will only take a few minutes.
You'll need an X-ray of your chest. What will the X-ray show?
It will check your lungs for any issues.
Let's schedule you for an MRI. What is an MRI?
It's a scan that uses magnets to get detailed pictures of your body.
Medications. Are there any side effects of this medication?
It might cause slight drowsiness, so avoid driving.
How long should I take this medicine?
Take it for 7 days, even if you feel better.
Can I take this with food?
Yes, it's best to take it after meals.
Got it. Thank you.
