He denied nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or urinary symptoms. He took overthe-counter Acetaminophen 1 gram every 8 hours and Ibuprofen 400 mg every 8 hours which provided transient improvement prompting urgent care evaluation. He was thought to have a non-specific acute viral syndrome and underwent several diagnostic tests which were consistent with non-specific acute viral syndrome. Tests included a CBC with total WBC count of 1.1 x10E3/uL and a normal Chest x-ray. He was instructed by urgent care to continue taking acetaminophen and ibuprofen and sent home. Because of persistent flulike symptoms, patient presented to another urgent care. Labs included CBC with total WBC count of 2.9, x10E3/uL, Hgb 14.1 g/dL, platelet count 166 x10E3/uL. Chemistries included sodium of 129 mmol/L, total bilirubin 0.6 mg/dL, AST 72 U/L, ALT 114 U/L. Tests for rapid flu, rapid strep and monospot were negative. He was again given the diagnosis of nonspecific acute viral syndrome, given IV fluids and advised to follow up with a primary care physician.","PeriodicalId":344800,"journal":{"name":"Berkowitz’s Pediatrics Instructor’s Guide","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132680879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
