Today’s Case:
An 18 month old previously healthy male presents to your primary care clinic for cough. Father reports patient has had fever, cough, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, and difficulty breathing for the past 24 hours. On physical exam, patient has nasal congestion, active cough, mild suprasternal retractions, and faint diffuse crackles. Pulse oximetry is 98% on room air. You suspect the patient has pneumonia, and you also obtain a rapid influenza test, which is positive. What is the next best step?
- Send the patient to the Emergency Department now for likely admission
- Obtain PA and Lateral Chest X-ray
- Start Amoxicillin
- Start Azithromycin
- Start Oseltamivir
