Review Question - QID 212857

A 6-year-old boy is brought to the clinic for fever and cough for the past 2 days. Per the mom, his daycare had a “flu outbreak” and since coming home 2 days ago, the patient has been coughing up sputum. He endorses headaches, rhinorrhea, and congestion but denies chest pain, shortness of breath, or abdominal pain. His past medical history is significant for 3 episodes of otitis media, 4 episodes of pneumonia, and 1 episode of gastroenteritis that the mother attributes to bad fish. He is not vaccinated due to mother’s beliefs. A physical examination demonstrates diffuse crackles throughout the right lower lung field. An intraoral examination is shown in Figure A. What is the most appropriate management of this patient?
