Document Summary

Signs & symptoms: not giving out meds that are contraindicated, etc. Children 2-6 years: 5-10 colds a year: children hanging out in very close proximity/close contact, poor hygiene, childcare in school. Cough may persist for 14 days or more: sometimes it might not be common cold; it might be the se of blood pressure meds. Runny nose (clear & watery to begin) H how long they have the symptoms. E. g. , could you describe your symptoms for me? (open-ended questions) Double-check does all of this make sense. Do i feel comfortable handing it out. E. g. , if a patient asked for a nasal spray and has been used it for more than 4-5 days in a row => they can get rebound congestion (overuse issue) S3 meds that are kept behind the counter where pharmacists have to hand out. Maybe s4 prescription meds? (if i assume that the symptoms might not be able to treated by s3 meds)
