Emergency Doctor Visit for Flu Symptoms

John Longman made an emergency appointment with Dr. Smith to discuss his general malaise, moodiness, large stools, sore throat, nasal discharge, sneezing, and coughing. After examining Mr. Longman, Dr. Smith determined it was a case of the seasonal flu, not COVID-19 as Mr. Longman had previously tested negative. Dr. Smith prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs, but warned against paracetamol due to Mr. Longman's history of building up a tolerance.

J.L.: Good afternoon, Doctor Smith! I am John Longman.

I have a doctor’s appointment that I


made two days ago.
D: Hello, mr. Longman. I know that you booked an emergency appointment. What’s the matter?
J.L.: Well, as you may know, I was tested negative for Covid 19. Still, I am apprehensive of this
whole situation. I noticed some changes, as I haven’t been feeling myself lately.
D: Can you be more specific?
J.L.: I feel a general malaise. I am moody and on top of that I pass large stools.
D: When I talked to you on the phone, I recommended you to take some pills. Have you been on
medication as I said?
J.L.: I took those pills on and off as I noticed that they caused me severe drowsiness. What’s
more is that I feel a sore throat.
D: I’ll get it checked. I can see an inflamation there. Have you experienced nasal discharge or
coryza?
J.L.: Yes, both of them actually. Besides, I always sneeze and cough. What could it be?! Please,
don’t get me down, doctor.
D: No worries! As you have tested negative for Coronavirus, you can calm down. I suppose that
it’s the seasonal flu. I will prescribe you anti-inflamatory drugs. However, I don’t recommend
taking paracetamol, as your medical history shows that you had built up tolerance to it.
J.L: Thank you Doctor! I’ll listen to your advices.
