How To Treat Congestion In Lungs In A Park Ranger?
Julie's husband has not been feeling well for the past 10 days. He has congestion in his lungs
and has been very tired. She talked him into going to the doctor a week ago when his
temperature was 101o F. The doctor gave him some oral amoxicillin, which he took faithfully
until it was gone. But she still thinks he looks sick.
Julie, Doug, and their 3-year-old daughter have just moved to Ohio from Arizona. Doug is a
park ranger and he loves his job, but for the past three days he has felt too sick to go to work.
His respiratory symptoms have not improved. Julie makes an appointment for him with her
doctor.
