Transcript

Turn 1 (10155 ms, status 200)

Patient: My throat's been killing me since yesterday. Voice has gone all raspy too. (rationale: The sore throat is the primary complaint, and I don't have the other symptoms like a cough or fever mentioned in the option.)

Olly: I'm sorry to hear your throat is so painful. To make sure I ask the right questions, is the sore throat your main problem, or do you have other symptoms like a high temperature, cough, or general body aches?

1. The sore throat is my main problem
2. I have other symptoms like a cough or fever
3. I'd rather speak to someone

Turn 2 (9104 ms, status 200)

Patient: The sore throat is my main problem. Yeah, it's really annoying. My voice has gone all raspy too, and I've got a slight runny nose, but no fever or anything like that. (rationale: Patient does not have breathlessness and wants to clarify normal breathing despite asthma.)

Olly: That sounds very uncomfortable. Do you feel breathless, or more breathless than you usually do?

1. Yes
2. I'm not sure
3. No
4. I'd rather speak to someone

Turn 3 (9830 ms, status 200)

Patient: No. No, I don't feel breathless, like, at all. My breathing's fine for me, even with my asthma, so my blue inhaler isn't really helping. (rationale: The throat pain and voice change are impacting activities like school rehearsal, but I can still do some things like watch TV or rest.)

Olly: I understand. Is the pain or the change in your voice stopping you from doing simple everyday things, like reading a book or watching TV?

1. Yes - I've stopped doing everything I usually do
2. I feel ill, but can do some of my usual activities
3. No - I feel well enough to do most of my usual daily activities
4. I'd rather speak to someone

Turn 4 (4285 ms, status 200)

Patient: I feel ill, but can do some of my usual activities. Yeah, like, my drama rehearsal got cancelled 'cos of my throat, so I'm just chilling on the sofa now with some tea. (rationale: Patient has no recent tonsillectomy or general anaesthetic.)

Olly: I'm glad you're able to rest. Have you had your tonsils taken out in the last two weeks, or have you had a general anaesthetic for an operation in the last 48 hours?

1. My tonsils were taken out in the last 2 weeks
2. I've had a general anaesthetic for an operation in the last 48 hours
3. I'm not sure
4. No
5. I'd rather speak to someone

Turn 5 (6248 ms, status 200)

Patient: No. No, I haven't had either of those things.

Olly: Self care

Self care

It sounds like you have a common viral infection. These usually get better on their own within a week.

What to do next:

• Gargle with warm salty water (adults only) to help soothe the pain.
• Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
• Eat soft or cool foods if it's painful to swallow.
• Rest your voice as much as possible until the hoarseness improves.
• Avoid smoking or smoky environments, as this can irritate your throat.

When to seek further help: Contact a GP or call 111 if:

• Your symptoms do not improve after a week.
