Doctor: Namaste Rajesh ji, how have you been doing since your last visit? Patient: Namaste Doctor sahib. My sugar is around 134 mg/dL in the morning, but since the day before yesterday I have developed an irritating dry cough and severe throat pain, especially when swallowing. Doctor: Any high fever or breathing difficulty? Patient: No high fever, just a mild feverish feeling around 99 degrees. Doctor: Let me examine your throat and listen to your chest. Throat shows mild pharyngeal congestion, chest is clear. BP is 130 over 84. I will prescribe throat lozenges and symptomatic relief, and you must continue your diabetes and BP tablets regularly.
