usually seen with eustachian tube dysfunction. Usually the nodes in the anterior cervical chain are
enlarged and painful (Ruckenstein, 2004).

irritation?
A. Abdominal guarding
B. Liver 2 cm below the costal margin
C. Increased bowel sounds
D. Engorged veins around the umbilicus
,Peritoneal irritation would lead to guarding and possible rebound tenderness. The Iliopsoas sign is an
indicator of peritoneal irritation. A liver below the costal margin may indicate hepatic inflammation, as
seen in hepatitis. Increased bowel sounds might be seen in gastroenteritis. In many cases, bowel sounds

with ascites (Kidd et al, 2003).
