[Part 3] Inquiry Problem <General Internal Medicine: Common Cold Edition>

Hello! Today is the common cold edition. A common cold is what we call a cold. Cold medicine is prescribed everywhere, so please try to think about an inquiry for this!

Question 3

General Internal Medicine, 32-year-old female, height 156 cm, weight 45 kg
Allergy history: Calonal
Medical history: Fracture

History of present illness
Fever since yesterday. Temperature of 37.9°C, with cough and runny nose. Since it did not improve today, she visited the hospital and was diagnosed with a common cold. The following medication was prescribed.

Prescription
Rp1. Transamin tablets 250mg, 3 tablets, 3 times a day, for 3 days
Rp2. SP Troches, 1 tablet, as needed, 10 tablets
Rp3. Acetaminophen tablets 200mg, 1 tablet, when feverish, for 10 doses
Leave a 4-hour interval, up to 6 times a day

Now, what kind of inquiry would you make for this?

The hint is to pay attention to the allergies.

Prescription
Rp1. Transamin tablets 250mg, 3 tablets, 3 times a day, for 3 days
Rp2. SP Troches, 1 tablet, as needed, 10 tablets
Rp3.Acetaminophen tablets 200mg 1 tablet, when feverish, for 10 doses
Leave a 4-hour interval, up to 6 times a day

This patient had a Calonal allergy. Calonal is a brand name, and the drug content is the same ingredient as acetaminophen. There is a high possibility that an allergy will occur if she takes that medicine. Therefore, it is necessary to suggest a different medicine. If there are no problems with pregnancy or renal function, Loxoprofen would be common, right?

That's all for today, see you again!
