We did talk about treatment options. I like him to start using warm compresses on his eyes. We talked about keeping his hands clean and to wash frequently, as this is this is very contagious. He and mom will monitor those symptoms, but if there is no improvement will start using the Polytrim prescription that was given using one drop four times daily for five to seven days. They do know if the symptoms are not improving here in the next few days, they are follow up or return to the office for evaluation. I do have a strep culture pending at this time. I suspect that will be negative. If the cold symptoms are not improving towards the end of the week, consideration for adding antibiotic can be done. He does have a history of asthma, though currently, his lungs are great in the office.

We did talk about adding steroids, including oral steroids versus an inhaled corticosteroid. Mom would like to hold off on that for now as he previously had symptoms, especially with oral steroids affecting his mood. I do not think this is unreasonable based on how he is sounds in the office. However, she is aware that if the symptoms do acutely worsen, they will seek care, and if there is no improvement will contact me so we can add those in.
