Visit Overview Visit on July 26, 2026 with Dr. Patel (Family Medicine). You were seen for cough and congestion for 3 days. We believe this is a viral upper respiratory infection (cold). No signs of pneumonia today. What We Did Today Checked vital signs and examined your ears, throat, and lungs. No antibiotics or chest X-ray needed today based on your exam. Home Care Rest, fluids, and saline rinses as needed. You may use acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever/aches as labeled on the bottle if safe for you. Honey/lozenges OK for cough if age-appropriate. Stay home from work until fever-free for 24 hours and improving. Medications No new prescriptions. Continue your usual home medications. Follow-Up No routine follow-up required. Message the clinic or return if not improving in 7–10 days. We can schedule sooner if needed. When to Seek Care Call us or seek urgent care/ER for trouble breathing, chest pain, fever lasting more than 3 days, confusion, or symptoms that suddenly worsen. Clinic phone: listed on your portal homepage.
