Discussion Board: Evaluation and Management of HEENT Disorders
This case study discloses several important factors as it pertains to the treatment plan of the patient. There are some vague aspects of this patient's history and physical examination and further questioning will need to be conducted in order to effectively treat the patient. Additional questions that I would ask include:
• How many days have the symptoms been present?
• Does the child guard any areas or suggest any particular areas cause pain/irritation?
• Were any medications given to relieve symptoms? Were symptoms alleviated with the medications use?
• What made the symptoms better/worse?
• Did symptoms worsen at a particular time of day or during any particular activity?
• Has the child been diagnosed with allergies/seasonal allergies in the past?
I believe these questions will better address the LOCATES mnemonic as well as as applying use of the wong baker pain scale. The parents will also need to be questioned if the child has experienced these symptoms in the past and how often. If the child has a history of seasonal allergies, the symptoms may be related to changes in seasons and/or environment. If the child is already on medications for seasonal allergies, the dosage may need increased or other adjustments may be warranted.
