Discussion Question – Chronic Illness
A 5 year old child and her mother present to your clinic. The mother reports that the child has had a cough and sounds “wheezy” for the last 2 days. She states that the child always gets like this when she is sick. She also reports that the child has been complaining that her right ear hurts. In addition, you notice dry scaly patches on the child’s elbows and behind her knees.
What are your differentials and diagnosis. What would you prescribe for each condition. Remember to include your rationales.
