You are seeing a 14 year old high school Freshman brought in for minor cold symptoms consisting of sporadic dry cough and nasal congestion. There is no fever, and the patient is negative for COVID, RSV, and influenza. The patient is well appearing and spends the majority of the visit on her mobile phone.
