The patient is a 54-year-old female woman who presents to urgent care with a 3-day history of nonproductive cough with associated rhinorrhea. She does endorse some chest pain after coughing episodes, which resolve with NSAIDs. She otherwise denies nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis, or exertional symptoms. Personal medical history is remarkable for hypertension.
