You were evaluated in the Emergency Department today for your congestion, cough and fevers. Your evaluation suggests that your symptoms are most likely due to a viral illness, which will improve on its own with rest and fluids.



‍ We recommend you take 600mg ibuprofen every 6 hours or tylenol 650mg every 6 hours as needed for fever. If needed, you can alternate these medications so that you take one medication every 3 hours. For instance, at noon take ibuprofen, then at 3pm take tylenol, then at 6pm take ibuprofen.



Please schedule an appointment for follow up with your primary care physician this week.



Return to the Emergency Department if you experience worsening cough, fever 100.4 ° F or greater not controlled by Tylenol or Ibuprofen, recurrent vomiting, chest pain, shortness of breath, or any other concerning symptoms.



Thank you for choosing UCLA for your care.
