A2 - Appachi, Elumalai Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - The Color Atlas of Pediatrics AB - A 6-year-old is brought in by his mother for persistent rhinorrhea. He had what appeared to be a cold about 2 weeks prior but continues to have a stuffy nose and a constant cough, which is worse at night. He has no fever but his mother says that he appears more tired than usual and has a decreased appetite. On examination, the child has a purulent nasal discharge, nasal mucosal erythema, and allergic shiners (Figure 26-1); he otherwise appears healthy. You diagnose acute bacterial sinusitis (ABS) and prescribe oral amoxicillin-clavulanate. You discuss the lack of benefit of antihistamines and decongestants but offer a prescription for nasal corticosteroids, which the parent declines.
