Referral/Consults:
Emergency Department if acute shortness of breath occurs
Rationale/Citation Click or tap here to enter text.
Education:
Discontinue all over the counter cough / cold medicine. No combinations medications, single ingredient only. Multi ingredient medication increases the risk of accidental overdose. Also, may contain medication already prescribed or not needed.
Discuss the need to increase physical activity to include but not limited to 30 minutes a day of increased activity.
Fever is a natural process that the body uses to kill virus and bacteria. Limit treatment based on child’s condition or if fever is over 101. Noting that the highness of fever does not indicate the degree of illness. If fever occurs, medicate with Motrin. If fever continues slow start cooling measures. Do not cover head during fever to keep patient warm. No evidence supports the adherence of not using blankets, however limit to one is encouraged.
Rationale/Citation
Prevention of overdose (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.2019).
Follow Up: Indicate when patient should return to clinic and provide detailed instructions indicating if the patient should return sooner than scheduled or seek attention elsewhere.
Recheck in 72 hrs, if not better consider flu swab maybe considering initiated antibiotic therapy.
Rationale/Citation
High suspension for viral in origin if symptoms worsens must consider bacterial etiology (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.2019).
