Transcript

Turn 1 (14351 ms, status 200)

Patient: My 5-year-old son has a new rash on his tummy and arms that appeared this morning. It's red and a bit blotchy. (rationale: The brief describes the rash as 'small red blotchy spots', not blistered.)

Olly: I'm sorry to hear your son has a new rash. To help you figure out what to do next, I'll need to ask a few more questions.

Is his skin blistered?

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

Turn 2 (4789 ms, status 200)

Patient: No. No, they're not blisters, just red blotchy spots on his tummy and arms. (rationale: The rash was noticed this morning, which is less than 6 hours ago.)

Olly: Thank you. You mentioned the rash appeared this morning-has it been less than 6 hours since it first showed up?

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

Turn 3 (3423 ms, status 200)

Patient: Yes. Yes, I noticed it when I got him dressed this morning, so it's definitely less than 6 hours. (rationale: Ethan does not have swelling of eyes, mouth, lips, tongue, or throat.)

Olly: Does he have any new or worsening swelling of his eyes, mouth, lips, tongue, or throat?

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

Turn 4 (5170 ms, status 200)

Patient: No. No, he doesn't have any swelling like that. His eczema is normally just dry skin, this is a different kind of rash. (rationale: No breathing difficulty according to the brief.)

Olly: Does he have any breathing problems, breathlessness, or a wheeze that's new or getting worse?

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

Turn 5 (9620 ms, status 200)

Patient: No. No, he doesn't have any breathing problems. He has had a slight cough for a couple of days, but it's not affecting his breathing. (rationale: Ethan is behaving normally otherwise, as per the brief.)

Olly: Does your son seem faint or like he might pass out right now?

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

Turn 6 (3704 ms, status 200)

Patient: No. No, he's not faint at all. He's behaving normally, just a bit quiet because of the rash and the cough. (rationale: Ethan is a bit miserable but still engaging in some activities.)

Olly: Is this problem stopping him from doing simple everyday things, like playing or watching TV?

1. Yes - he's stopped doing everything he usually does
2. He feels ill, but can do some of his usual activities
3. No - he feels well enough to do most of his usual activities
4. I'd rather speak to someone

Turn 7 (9654 ms, status 200)

Patient: He feels ill, but can do some of his usual activities. He's a bit miserable, bless him, but he is eating and drinking and still playing with his cars. He's not completely out of sorts.

Olly: Get help now

It's good that your son is still playing and eating. Since the rash is new and he's also has a cough, it's best to keep a close eye on him.

What to do next: Continue to monitor him. Most rashes in children are mild, but they can sometimes be a sign of something more serious.

Seek urgent medical help (call 999 or go to A&E) if he develops any of these:

• A rash that does not fade when you press a glass against it (non-blanching)
• Difficulty breathing or very fast breathing
• A high temperature and he seems very drowsy, floppy, or is hard to wake
• Fits or seizures
