M.R., a 28-year-old Asian-American, presents with complaints of a cold. He states he has been sick for 6 days and is feeling worse. He complains of a thick, green nasal discharge, congestion, and inability to breathe through his nose. He also says he has had a thick, yellow- green expectoration for 4 days, and has chills off and on. He complains of a pounding headache all over his head with sudden movement. He has pain in his neck over the submaxillary nodes when touched, but he is able to swallow. He has tried “flu medicine,” but it is not effective. Nothing makes it better or worse.
