Ex. 3. Imagine, you’re a doctor. Try to diagnose these illnesses.

1.Common symptoms: weakness, fever, sore throat, and "puffiness" to the cheek(s). The swelling may extend from the cheeks to under the angle of the jaw.

2.This common childhood illness has its highest incidence in the spring. One has fever, malaise, headache, and sore throat. These symptoms will give way to a rash (pink, circular spots) that starts on the trunk, arms, and legs. Duration of the rash is typically 1-3 days.

3.Common symptoms in adults include: fever, chills, runny nose, sore throat, swollen glands, frontal headache, muscle and body aches, joint pains, dry cough, chest pains with coughing and weakness.

4.The common presentation is abdominal pain with fever, loss of appetite, and nausea. Within hours (6-8 hours) the pain localizes to the right lower quadrant of the abdomen.

5.Common symptoms include productive cough, fever, and chills. Shortness of breath is seen in more severe cases, breathing OUT is more difficult than breathing IN. The act of breathing OUT may be accompanied by a musical wheeze

6.This infection will commonly start as an upper respiratory infection with symptoms of runny nose, fever, and sore throat. A cough mat be present, but it is usually dry and nonproductive. Eventually a rash erupts, first on the face or trunk finally spreading to the limbs. The rash starts as red spots that later turn to blistery bumps (vesicles). The rash will eventually crust over, scab and only rarely cause scarring. This process may take 7-14 days.

7.It is generally a 3-7 days illness (often seasonal) that results in congestion, runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, sore throat and dry cough. There may be an associated low grade fever.
