Hi friends
I need a help to count HPI elements for the below scenario...
Patient came for itchy bump on scalp for 3 days. and Treated with nothing. Patient also have rhinnorea and post nasal drip.
I have a doubt whether we can consider post nasal drip as an associated signs and symptoms.
I have heard like the associated signs and symptoms should be related to the chief complaint.since we cannot consider this post nasal drip as an associated signs and we cannot warrants 1 points for this.
please anyone make me clear on this..
