A doctor and patient discuss a sore throat worse in the mornings, possibly from dry air in a cabin. The doctor asks about cough, fever, chills, and other symptoms to rule out strep throat, then moves to the physical exam.
It's a little sensitive.
No other upper respiratory symptoms? I did have a sore throat actually the past few days too. We went to our cabin in the woods and it's heated by wood stove, so I thought maybe it's because it's so dry, but yeah, I mean, we've been traveling, so I don't know. But it's gotten better. It's like just in the mornings. Right now I don't really have it, but this morning I did.
All right, good. Yeah, it doesn't look strep-like or anything. Ears feel okay?
Ears feel okay, yeah.
All right, no cough, fever, chills, body aches? No. No rash? No. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain? Mm-mm. Nothing like that? No. Any sinus pressure, headaches? No. Okay, going to take a quick listen to your heart in a moment here.
