Problem

Amy, a 3-year-old girl, is brought to your office by her mother because she has a fever and complains that her ear hurts. She has no significant medical history. The child is not pleased to be in the provider's office and has been crying. Her mother explains that she developed a "cold" about three days ago with sniffles. As she cries, she continues to cough and has a yellowish nasal discharge.

Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient. Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient's condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis? Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
