Ralph Z., a 34 yr old male comes to clinic today complaining of non-productive cough that started last evening. This morning he woke with aching from the top of his head to his feet, and also feels weak – says he feels like he has “been hit by a truck.” Coughing worsens his headache. He also feels feverish although he has not taken his temperature. He feels too ill to go to work, and he rarely misses work. Also, he rarely comes to clinic, but really wants something to help his symptoms and help him get back to work. History reveals no chronic illnesses and no current medications. He has no known drug allergies. Habits: nonsmoker; 2-3 beers on weekends; no illicit drugs. In clinic his temperature is 102.6. His physical exam is consistent with a clinical diagnosis of influenza.
