A 35 year old presents with chief complaint of “my sinus infection is not getting better”, with continued nasal and sinus congestion, yellow to white nasal discharge, and a feeling of sinus pressure particularly when he bends over. He denies sore throat headache, and GI symptoms, and previously reported fever prior to treatment is now resolved. The EMR documentation notes a prescription for dose-appropriate amoxicillin with clavulanate written 2 1/2 days ago when seen for a sick visit. Patient states he has taken the antibiotic as advised, staring the medicine on the day of his sick visit, and has not missed any doses. Physical exam reveals a no acute distress, mild tenderness to sinus palpation, and no fever. The next most appropriate step in this patient's treatment plan is to:A. Advise the patient to continue his current course of therapy.B. Switch his antimicrobial to moxifloxacin.C. Order a CT of the sinuses.D. Perform a posterior pharyngeal culture and sensitivity.---YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U328N8YjNs8&list=PLf0PFEPBXfq592b5zCthlxSNIEM-H-EtD&index=68Visit fhea.com to learn more!
