Allergic Rhinitis
Plan
pt to make an eye appointment for exam to get glasses. rapid strep test to be obtained as well as a throat culture for strep throat. we will wait on antibiotics until the results of the rapid come back and use the culture to verify proper sensitivities. pt to use warm salt water rinse/gargle to help decrease the pain and to continue tyleol use as needed.
Encourage Ms. Jones to continue to monitor symptoms and log her episodes of allergic symptoms with associated factors and bring log to next visit. • Initiate trial of loratadine (Claritin) 10 mg by mouth daily. • Encourage to increase intake of water and other fluids and educate on frequent handwashing. • Educate on avoidance of triggers and known allergens • Educate Ms. Jones on when to seek care including episodes of uncontrollable epistaxis, worsening headache, or fever. • Revisit clinic in 2-4 weeks for follow up and evaluation.
The pt was c/o sore throat and runny nose x 1 week which is what prompted me to exam her HEENT. I was unable to make a diagnoses based on just observation and assessment date obtained, further testing is needed to make a diagnoses of strep and order proper medications. Review of the Bates textbook and relevant chapters was read.
